TheKey has been a life saver, for both my aunt and me. When my aunt’s recovery from what was supposed to be a simple back surgery, turned into needing 24/7 care for her to return home, TheKey came through. I contacted a number of other care companies while at the hospital with my aunt. TheKey was the only one that could meet our need for my aunt to be released to return home that night, otherwise she would have had to go to a nursing home. TheKey was able to staff our need with only 3+ hours notice and they have continued to care for my aunt since March 2023.

Because I live in a difficult state, I needed to arrange immediate home care for my mother after an unexpected hospital stay. Staff from The Key were extremely responsive, kind, and efficient in setting up caregivers. My mom felt comfortable with each caregiver. Her case manager, Tera, was wonderful. She communicated with me frequently and ensured that my mom’s needs were met quickly and professionally. I would recommend The Key wholeheartedly.

Frequently Asked Questions About TheKey - Senior Home Care
What is home care?
Home care is a supportive service provided by a professional caregiver in the home or community where a resident lives (in addition to facility supports) for peace of mind, companionship, and personal care. Caregivers can perform tasks such as running errands, preparing meals, assisting in the shower, fall prevention, and initiating brain stimulation activities to stimulate cognitive function.
How do I find the best caregiver for my loved one?
The best caregiver is an experienced professional who has the training and skills to support your loved one’s care needs. It’s also imporatnt to find a caregiver who’s extremely reliable, has back-up if necessary, and is a good fit in terms of personality and shared interests.
How much does home care cost?
