An Austin-headquartered provider operating from an office on Mesa Drive in northwest Austin, with additional Texas branches in San Marcos, Waco, Dallas, and Tomball. Service lines listed on its own site include home care, home health, palliative care, and hospice, plus participation in the Medicare GUIDE model for dementia care.

Halcyon Home's Austin address, 8133 Mesa Drive, Suite 200, is a branch and administrative office rather than a care site; all care is delivered in whatever residence the client chooses. The company was founded in Austin by Amy Sweet, a physician assistant, and describes itself as the only physician assistant-owned home health and hospice provider in Central Texas. It presents itself as a continuity-of-care company, built so a client can move between service lines without changing provider.

Four service lines are published. Home health is skilled medical care delivered in the residence under a physician's order. Home care, described as personal assistant services, is non-medical caregiver support ranging from short visits up to 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Palliative care and hospice are offered separately, with clinicians, chaplains and volunteers named as part of the hospice team. Telehealth is also provided, and the company participates in the Medicare GUIDE programme, a federal model for dementia care. Families are given access to Careopolis, a private invitation-only communication site.

The practical fact that matters most is after-hours coverage: a registered nurse and on-call staff are available 24 hours a day on 512-815-9009. Coverage runs from five offices, Austin, San Marcos at 125 West McCarty Lane, Waco, Dallas and Houston, so a client moving between Central Texas cities can stay with the same provider. A volunteer programme provides companionship and practical support to patients and families. This suits a household intent on keeping someone at home through changing levels of need.

How Texas regulates this provider

Evaluating a home care or home health provider

  • Establish which service you are buying. Non-medical home care is generally private pay; Medicare-covered home health is intermittent, skilled and physician-ordered.
  • Ask about minimum shift lengths, since a one-hour visit is often billed as three or four.
  • Ask what happens when your regular caregiver is unavailable, and how continuity of caregiver is handled. This is where agencies genuinely differ.

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.

Questions Austin families ask

Who is the ombudsman for Travis County?

The Capital Area Area Agency on Aging serves Travis County. Managing Local Ombudsman Tracey Cummings can be reached at 512-916-6054 or 888-622-9111 option three, at 6800 Burleson Road, Building 310, Suite 165, Austin. The office also covers Williamson, Hays, Bastrop, Caldwell, Burnet, Blanco, Fayette, Lee, and Llano.

Can an Austin assisted living facility make my parent leave if their needs increase?

Possibly. If a Type A community can no longer meet your parent's evacuation or nighttime care needs, they may require a move to a Type B community. Improper transfer or discharge is exactly what a long-term care ombudsman handles. Call Capital Area at 512-916-6054 before agreeing to move.

Does Medicare pay for assisted living in Texas?

No. Medicare does not pay for assisted living room, board, or custodial care anywhere, including Austin. Medicare covers limited skilled nursing facility stays after a qualifying hospital admission, plus home health and hospice. Assisted living in Texas is paid privately, through long-term care insurance, or via Medicaid STAR+PLUS.
