A nonprofit hospice serving a five-county Central Texas area from an administrative office in northwest Austin. Services include in-home hospice care, palliative care through Austin Palliative Care, grief and bereavement support, and caregiver support. The organization also operates Hospice Austin's Christopher House, an inpatient facility in east Austin.
The Austin address listed for Hospice Austin is an administrative office, not a place where patients are cared for. Hospice care is delivered wherever the patient lives, whether that is a private home, a nursing facility or an assisted living community. Hospice Austin is a nonprofit, states it has served Central Texas families for more than forty years, and says it cares for everyone who needs it regardless of age, diagnosis or ability to pay. It is accredited through CHAP and affiliated with the St David's Foundation.
Service lines are hospice care delivered by an interdisciplinary team, palliative care for people still pursuing treatment, specialty programmes, caregiver support and grief support, including bereavement work for children. The organisation does operate one physical care site: Hospice Austin's Christopher House, at 2820 East Martin Luther King Jr Boulevard in east Austin, which provides 24-hour medical care when symptoms cannot temporarily be managed at home. Rooms there have private bathrooms, refrigerators, microwaves, fold-out sofas and doors and windows opening to the air; many face a courtyard, and loved ones and pets may stay overnight.
The service area is defined precisely as five counties: Travis, Williamson, Bastrop, Caldwell and Hays. Families should understand that Christopher House is explicitly not a long-term care facility but an alternative to hospital admission; once symptoms are controlled, patients return home. Referrals can be submitted through an online form or by phone on (512) 342-4700 or (800) 445-3261. A virtual tour of Christopher House is published, which is useful for families deciding before a crisis rather than during one.

Evaluating a hospice provider
- Ask how quickly a nurse responds after hours and on weekends, and whether that is an on-call service or an answering service that pages someone.
- Ask what is provided in the home versus what requires an inpatient unit, and where that inpatient care would take place.
- You can change hospice providers, and you can revoke hospice and return to curative treatment. Families are rarely told either clearly.
Austin in context
Austin proper has the widest range of care levels in the metro and the widest range of prices with it. Central and west-side communities price toward the top of the market; north and northeast Austin is generally more moderate. Traffic is the practical constraint families underestimate — a community fifteen minutes away at 10 a.m. can be forty at six in the evening, and evening is when most visits actually happen.
