About Stacey K Eisenberg, Your Senior Care Expert
Stacey’s connection to senior care didn’t start with a job posting. It started at age three, in the activity room of a Coney Island nursing home where her mother worked. She was there most days, sitting alongside residents, absorbing something most people never learn: that the way you treat someone who needs care says everything about who you are.
Growing up inside nursing homes in the 1970s and ’80s, she saw what genuine caregiving looked like before the industry got complicated by paperwork, liability, and the relentless pressure to do more with less. Caregivers knew their residents by name, by habit, by story. They showed up not just physically, but fully. That is the standard Stacey has spent her career trying to restore. She calls it bringing the Care back to caregiving, and everything she does is in service of that mission.
By 13, she had her first official job in senior care. That was not a phase. It became the shape of her entire life.
Over the past four decades, Stacey has worked across virtually every setting in senior care: nursing homes, assisted living communities, memory care residences, rehab centers, hospitals, and independent living. She has opened communities from scratch, managed teams, and spent years as a Director of Fun coordinating daily events, activities, and outings for nearly 300 independently living seniors. That title sounds light. The work was not. It was about creating moments of connection and purpose for people who needed to feel that they still had both.
What she saw along the way made her choose a different path. Too many operators put budgets ahead of people. Stacey never did. Her clients became extensions of her own family. Her children grew up knowing their mom’s seniors by name.
Today, Stacey and her husband Bryan own A Place At Home – North Austin, an award-winning home care agency serving families across Round Rock, Georgetown, Cedar Park, Leander, Hutto, and the surrounding Central Texas communities. Their caregiving team is built on the same philosophy Stacey has lived her entire career: every person who needs care deserves consistency, dignity, and someone who actually shows up.
A Place At Home – North Austin has been voted Best Home Care Agency in Round Rock two years running, in 2024 and 2025. In 2025, they also received national recognition from Activated Insights as both a Best of Home Care Provider of Choice and Employer of Choice, awards that reflect not just the care they give clients, but the culture they have built for their caregivers.
Stacey is a trained recreation therapist. She serves as a Community Educator for the Alzheimer’s Association: Capital of Texas chapter and supports the Williamson County Walk to End Alzheimer’s Committee, working year-round to raise awareness and resources for families living with the disease in Central Texas. She serves as Treasurer on the Adult Protective Services Advisory Board and as Community Awareness Chair for the Aging Services Council. She co-facilitates the Williamson County Health Resource networking group, participates in the Regional Dementia Support Coalition for the Capital Area, and contributes to Age Friendly Austin, Healthy Williamson County, and the Williamson Collab Action Group. She is also a member of the National Aging in Place Coalition. In 2025, she was recognized as a finalist in the Woman of Wilco awards. She is also the creator of Peter’s Memory Beads, a passion project to raise funds for the Alzheimer’s Association.
