Sonder Hospice

OUR MISSION & ETHOS

Trading Coordination for Connection

At Sonder Hospice, we believe your family’s journey is a private, vital season that deserves more than a standard clinical routine. We built Sonder on a simple standard: when you need help, you should reach an experienced local clinician immediately—not a distant call center. Every nurse who enters your home is an advocate dedicated to your family's comfort, peace, and dignity.

COMMUNITY FIRST

Rooted in Central Texas

In hospice care, there are no second chances. When a breakthrough crisis occurs at 2:00 AM, local presence is critical. Because our clinicians live throughout Greater Austin and Williamson County, we understand local transit and backroads to ensure rapid bedside triage. We handle the logistical weight so you can step back from full-time caregiving and return to being a loving family.

RAPID ONBOARDING

The 4-Hour Transition Commitment

Leaving the hospital should bring profound relief, not bureaucratic friction. Our direct hospital-to-home protocol bridges the gap between inpatient discharge and familiar comfort. We coordinate directly with hospital case managers and physicians, ensuring hospital beds, oxygen, and specialized comfort kits arrive before or alongside your loved one.

COMPREHENSIVE CARE

Specialized Clinical Comfort

Our clinical protocols extend beyond standard routine hospice. Every clinician receives advanced dementia and cognitive support training to de-escalate restlessness without over-sedation. As one of the few Central Texas providers navigating the Texas Compassionate Use Program, we help guide physician-monitored alternatives for intractable pain and anxiety—preserving clarity, connection, and comfort.

Sonder Leadership

Lloyd Wilson Founder & CEO
Lloyd Wilson is a native of Austin, TX and is the Founder and CEO of Sonder Hospice. He brings over 20 years of health care expertise, with a focus on the care older Americans. He is a graduate of Johns Hopkins School of Public Health and Washington and Lee University. Lloyd first witnessed the power of hospice while serving as the best man for his brother, who married the love of his life surrounded by family members in the bedroom of a dying family member. Hospice made this beautiful moment possible and now, more than two decades later, he is still inspired by this moment and the promise of living fully in the face of an advanced illness. Lloyd launched Sonder in order to elevate how we support those facing advanced illnesses. Lloyd is inspired by the pursuit of providing a human-centered service in our hometown of Austin, TX, and Reimagine End of Life Movement, and Atul Gawande’s, “Being Mortal”. Sonder’s vision is to improve the quality of life in our community by reducing anxiety and suffering caused by advanced illness and inspiring each other to live fully.
