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 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.
"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."
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.
Community members can vote for A Place At Home - North Austin in Best Senior Care Service at bestofroundrocktx.com.
The recognition comes at a time when demand for in-home care continues to rise, driven by an aging population and a preference among many seniors to remain in their own homes. For the North Austin business community, the nomination signals that care-focused enterprises are gaining visibility alongside traditional retail and service businesses. For residents, it offers a benchmark for evaluating local care providers, particularly as families seek agencies with verified credentials and community ties. The agency's involvement with ShareTheWill and its medical lending closet underscores how local businesses are increasingly partnering with nonprofits to address gaps in care access. As the January 28 banquet approaches, the outcome will be watched not only by the finalists but by an industry looking to define what small business success looks like in the region's fast-growing suburbs. A Place At Home - North Austin serves Round Rock, Georgetown, Cedar Park, Leander, Brushy Creek, Liberty Hill, and surrounding communities, with more information available at aplaceathomenorthaustin.com.
