A Place At Home - North Austin has been awarded the 2025 Best of Home Care® Provider of Choice and Employer of Choice distinctions, as announced by BestOfHomeCare.com, operated by Activated Insights. These national honors, based on ongoing third-party surveys of clients and caregivers rather than open voting, underscore consistent performance over time. The agency had earlier been recognized as Best Home Care Agency in the community-driven Best of Round Rock awards.
The dual recognition carries significant weight in the home care industry, where caregiver retention directly impacts service quality. The agency's philosophy of "putting care back in caregiving" emphasizes supporting caregivers first, which owners Stacey and Bryan Eisenberg believe enables consistent, compassionate care for clients. This approach has resulted in unusual continuity, with one of the agency's first caregivers still employed after more than two years and multiple family pairs working together on the team.
"These awards really are about the daily work of caring for people in our community," said Stacey Eisenberg, a senior care expert with decades of experience. "They reflect what happens when caregivers are respected and supported." The Employer of Choice designation is particularly meaningful in an industry known for high turnover, as caregiver satisfaction directly influences the stability and trust families experience when receiving in-home care services.
The agency serves families throughout North Austin, Georgetown, Sun City, Cedar Park, Wells Branch, Hutto, Leander, and Round Rock, providing relationship-based care rooted in local connections. The combination of community recognition through the Best of Round Rock award and national validation through the Best of Home Care® awards creates a compelling narrative about how local trust translates into measurable quality indicators. For families seeking reliable care for seniors, these honors provide independent verification that the agency maintains both client satisfaction and a supportive work environment for those delivering care.
For HR vendors, this news underscores the growing importance of caregiver retention and satisfaction in the home care sector. As the industry faces labor shortages and high turnover, agencies that prioritize employee experience are more likely to achieve recognition and, consequently, attract more clients. Vendors offering solutions for caregiver training, scheduling, engagement, or benefits administration may find a receptive market among agencies seeking to replicate such success. The dual award model also suggests that measuring and improving both employee and client satisfaction can yield tangible business outcomes, making it a key focus for HR technology and service providers.
