A Place At Home - North Austin Named Finalist for Round Rock Chamber Small Business Award

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 Chamber announced. The home care agency is also a nominee for Best Senior Care Service in the 2026 Best of Round Rock, where it is seeking a third consecutive win after taking the title in 2024 and 2025.

The recognition matters beyond the banquet hall. Small businesses are the backbone of Texas's regional economies, and a Chamber award finalist spot signals that a company has met benchmarks for growth, community engagement, and service quality as judged by local leaders. The Chamber selected finalists from dozens of public nominations through a closed committee of community leaders, placing A Place At Home - North Austin among three small business finalists 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 home care industry, the nomination underscores a growing expectation that providers demonstrate community involvement alongside clinical reliability. "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 Eisenberg and Bryan Eisenberg, the agency provides in-home care for seniors, veterans, and adults with disabilities. Every caregiver is fully background checked, and the agency has 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.

The broader implication is economic as well as social. As Texas's population ages, demand for in-home care rises, and agencies that combine credentialed staffing with community partnerships can create jobs and keep care dollars local. Recognition from the Round Rock Chamber and Best of Round Rock gives consumers a visible quality signal in a fragmented market, while giving the agency a platform to attract caregivers in a competitive labor environment.
