A Place At Home - North Austin has been named a finalist for the Big Boy Hester Small Business of the Year Award in the Round Rock Chamber's 2026 Annual Business Awards. The agency is also a nominee for Best Senior Care Service in the 2026 Best of Round Rock, where it is going for a third consecutive win after taking the title in 2024 and 2025.
The recognition matters because it signals strong community trust and operational excellence in a competitive senior care market. The Chamber chose finalists from dozens of public nominations through a closed committee of community leaders. A Place At Home - North Austin is one of three finalists in the small business category, alongside The Palk Insurance Agency and Stone Stash Coffee. Winners will be announced at the Chamber's 59th Annual Business Awards banquet on January 28, 2027, at Kalahari Resorts & Conventions, where about 600 area business and community leaders are expected.
For the agency, the nominations are more than trophies. "We feature our award on our website and bring it with us to our local events," said Bryan Eisenberg, co-owner of A Place At Home - North Austin. "It's important to hire a home care agency that shows up for their community, and there is no better way to show that than by showing how the community shows up for you in voting for the Round Rock Chamber and Best of Round Rock awards." The visible endorsement helps families comparing providers in a crowded field, where reputation and community ties often guide decisions.
Owned by senior care expert Stacey and Bryan Eisenberg, A Place At Home - North Austin provides in-home care for seniors, veterans, and adults with disabilities. Every caregiver is fully background checked. The agency has also been named Provider of Choice and Employer of Choice by Best of Home Care. Beyond direct care, it offers care coordination and senior living placement help, and it works with local nonprofit ShareTheWill on a medical lending closet for veterans, seniors, and people in need. Those services extend the agency's role beyond hourly care, positioning it as a community resource.
The dual nominations are likely to reinforce the agency's credibility as it expands across North Austin communities including Round Rock, Georgetown, Cedar Park, Leander, Brushy Creek, and Liberty Hill. Community members can vote for A Place At Home - North Austin in Best Senior Care Service at bestofroundrocktx.com. With the Chamber banquet still months away, the finalist spot already places the agency among the area's most recognized small businesses, a distinction that could influence hiring and client acquisition in the year ahead.
