Companion Care at Home in Austin

Most people want to age where life happened — their own kitchen, their own street, their own neighbors. Home care is built around that wish. Care is one-on-one, so attention isn't divided among a floor of residents. Hours flex to what you actually need, from a few hours a week to around-the-clock schedules, instead of a facility's fixed structure. Family stays close and involved, and routines — pets, gardens, breakfast habits — stay intact. For many Austin families it's the least disruptive way to add support. See how home care works.

Non-medical home care covers the everyday things that keep life at home working: personal care (bathing, dressing, grooming, toileting and transfers), meal planning and preparation, light housekeeping and laundry, medication reminders, errands and transportation to appointments, companionship and engagement, support for people living with dementia, respite for family caregivers, and overnight or around-the-clock schedules. ABS Austin serves Austin, Round Rock, Cedar Park, Georgetown, Lakeway, Pflugerville, Leander, West Lake Hills, Buda and Kyle. Every plan is custom — tell us what your family needs.

Professional caregivers — trained, background-checked and supervised by the agency's office team. A caregiver's day is shaped by the care plan: help with bathing, dressing and grooming; preparing meals; light housekeeping; medication reminders; driving to appointments and errands; and genuine companionship — conversation, walks, cards, a shared cup of coffee. What a non-medical caregiver doesn't do is nursing: no injections, wound care or clinical procedures. At ABS Austin we match caregivers to clients by needs and personality, not just availability, because the relationship is most of the job. Meet us at a complimentary consultation.

Neither is "better" — they solve different problems. Assisted living offers a built-in community, prepared meals and staff on site, but it means leaving a home your parent may be deeply attached to, and staff attention is shared across many residents. Home care is one-on-one in familiar surroundings, with hours matched to actual needs — which can make it the gentler first step. The honest questions to work through: how much support is needed each day, does your parent want to move, and what does each option truly cost at the hours required? We'll help you think it through — book a complimentary consultation.

Yes. A caregiver steps in for a few hours a week, a full day or an overnight so a family caregiver can rest. The person keeps their routine at home, and the same caregiver returns week after week.
