CHRISTUS Santa Rosa Hospice in San Marcos is based at 1301 Wonder World Drive and is structured as a hospital-based agency attached to CHRISTUS Santa Rosa Hospital - San Marcos, rather than as a freestanding company. CHRISTUS states this is the area's only non-profit, faith-based hospice agency and frames its purpose in explicitly religious terms as extending Christ's healing ministry. CHRISTUS Health is a large Catholic non-profit system headquartered in Irving, Texas, with hospitals across Texas and Louisiana.

Care is delivered in patients' own homes and in nursing facilities by a multidisciplinary team. The published service list covers skilled nursing, personal care, home health aides, physician visits, chaplaincy, a massage therapist, homemaker services, bereavement care and respite care, together with medications and equipment associated with the terminal illness. An individualised care plan is written for each patient, identifying the specific equipment, treatments and medication needed for comfort. Spanish-language service is offered, with the site stating se habla espanol.

Two operational facts are useful to a family. A member of the hospice team is on call 24 hours a day, seven days a week for emergencies, and there is round-the-clock access to a registered nurse rather than only a triage line. Referrals are accepted 24 hours a day on 512-754-6159, with a toll-free alternative on 866-754-6159. The hospital affiliation suits families who want end-of-life care connected to the local hospital, and those for whom Catholic identity and chaplaincy matter. No Texas agency licence number is published.

Questions Austin families ask

What does long-term care actually cost in Texas?

Per the 2025 CareScout Cost of Care Survey, published March 2026, Texas medians are $5,666 monthly for assisted living, $7,604 for a private nursing home room, $30 an hour for a non-medical caregiver, and $90 a day for adult day health care.

Is senior care more expensive in Austin than the rest of Texas?

Generally yes. CareScout publishes Texas statewide medians, $5,666 monthly for assisted living, but does not publish separate Austin figures. Austin's rapid growth, competitive labor market, and newer inventory push local pricing above the state median. Ask each Austin community directly for a current all-in monthly quote.

How much does in-home care cost per hour in Austin?

The 2025 CareScout survey puts the Texas median for a non-medical caregiver at $30 an hour, roughly $5,720 monthly at 44 hours a week. Skilled private duty nursing at home runs about $90 an hour or $150 a visit. Austin rates typically run above statewide medians.
