Teaching Austin Families to Navigate Senior Care with Confidence
Our Approach
Blue Water Homecare & Hospice was built on a simple premise: families who understand what home care involves get better outcomes. Founder Jennifer Prescott on LinkedIn has spent years not only delivering care but explaining it — to families, to community organizations, and to media outlets across Central Texas. Blue Water's approach begins with a thorough conversation about what a family is facing, what options exist, and what to realistically expect. That educational foundation sets Blue Water apart from agencies that prioritize placement over comprehension.
From the first inquiry to ongoing care, Blue Water's team operates with transparency. Families aren't surprised by caregiver switches, unclear billing, or vague care plans. Every step is explained, every change discussed, and every concern addressed — because in senior care, clarity is kindness. If you're beginning that process, our guide on recognizing when in-home care is needed is a helpful first read.
Our Founder
Jennifer Prescott founded Blue Water Homecare & Hospice after recognizing a gap in Austin's senior care market: families were overwhelmed, under-informed, and often led toward decisions that didn't fit their actual needs. Jennifer brought clinical training, deep community ties, and a commitment to the non-franchise model to build an agency that puts the family — not the bottom line — at the center of every decision.
She is a regular presence in Central Texas media, appearing on television and speaking at conferences on topics ranging from dementia care planning to end-of-life conversations. Her team, Travis Prescott and the broader Blue Water staff, share her philosophy. The agency's media coverage, available at the Blue Water media kit, reflects years of earned trust. Jennifer's expertise covers in-home care across the full spectrum — including specialized Parkinson's care programs and hospice services.
Our Services
Blue Water provides a full range of home care and hospice services tailored to each client's condition, preferences, and family situation. Services include dementia and Alzheimer's care, Parkinson's disease home care, 24-hour care, private duty nursing, and in-home hospice support. For veterans, the agency offers specialized guidance on accessing VA and veteran home care benefits in Texas — a resource many families don't know they have.
All care is delivered by trained, background-checked caregivers under Jennifer's oversight. The non-franchise structure means every staffing and scheduling decision is made locally, with the client's continuity in mind. Blue Water now serves Austin, Lampasas, and Marble Falls — and families throughout Central Texas can explore service areas at the official Blue Water Homecare website.
Why Non-Franchise Matters
Most home care agencies in Austin are franchises — meaning local operators follow national scripts, use standardized care models, and answer to corporate metrics before they answer to you. Blue Water Homecare & Hospice is independently owned and operated by Jennifer and Travis Prescott. There is no franchise fee buried in your rates. There is no national template dictating your care plan. Every decision is made by people who live in this community and will see you at the grocery store.
This structure also means Blue Water is nimble. When a client's needs shift, the response is immediate — not filtered through a regional manager or a national hotline. Families looking for a trusted local partner rather than a corporate service consistently tell Blue Water's team this distinction matters most.

Media & Community Leadership
Jennifer Prescott's public presence extends well beyond the agency. She has been interviewed by local television stations, quoted in senior care publications, and invited to speak at events across Central Texas. Her visibility is a direct reflection of the trust Austin's medical and caregiving community places in her expertise. Families who find Blue Water through Jennifer's media appearances often say they chose the agency specifically because they felt educated, not sold to.
Blue Water's YouTube channel features educational content for families navigating the senior care process, and Blue Water on Instagram offers regular community updates. This commitment to public education is the same philosophy that drives every conversation between the Blue Water team and the families they serve. Whether you're trying to understand the early signs that in-home care is needed or learning about veteran care benefits in Texas, Blue Water's guides are written to make a complicated system easier to understand.
