Respite care in Austin for family caregivers

Before visits begin, we create a detailed care plan that covers medications, daily routines, mobility needs, preferred activities, and emergency steps. During respite time, your caregiver follows this plan, providing clinical monitoring, personal care, meals, and companionship, then offers a brief update afterward on how your loved one ate, rested, and felt, plus any changes they noticed.

Yes. We work in partnership with your primary care physician to create and manage your personalized care plan.

Both options are supported. Many families build respite into their weekly rhythm, such as a set afternoon or every other weekend, to prevent burnout before it happens, while others request help only when they feel overwhelmed. Solace Hospice can adjust the schedule as your needs and energy levels change.

Electing hospice means shifting the goal of care from curing the disease to focusing on comfort, quality of life, and emotional and spiritual peace. Aggressive treatment for pain and other symptoms continues, and treatments for conditions unrelated to the terminal illness can still be provided, so families can concentrate on meaningful time together rather than on burdensome interventions.

Solace Hospice believes your priority should be comfort and quality of life, not worrying about medical bills. As a private pay provider with flexible payment options, we operate independently of insurance and government programs so we can offer highly personalized, bespoke end of life care that respects your wishes and needs.
