This company was amazing and such a blessing for my family! Their beginning process and in person assessment of my grandmother was amazing, especially in her home where she was comfortable made it 10x better. This is the type of service that we were looking for and it meant so much to our family. With the help of this agency, we were able to keep your grandmother home where she wishes to be. 10 out of 10 for this company!

Can't thank the staff at Home Care Assistance enough for the caring and professionalism they have shown us. Michelle has been my father-in-law's caregiver and she has been so amazing. She has cared for him with respect, kindness and the utmost professionalism. My in-laws left the country for a few months and we will miss having Michelle coming in the morning with her cheery smile, warm personality and heartfelt caring for our loved one. Also would like to thank Anja and the office staff for finding the perfect person for us. We've worked with other agencies in the past but Home Care Assistance seems to really take the time out to understand their client's needs and find the right fit for them.

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?
Home care is typically billed by the hour, so the cost depends on the number of care hours per week and can vary slightly by region. Most families pay out-of-pocket for their care or use long-term care insurance.

Is a home care agency better than hiring a private caregiver?
If you value safety, security, and reliability, yes. A quality home care agency is insured and also manages the performance and scheduling of its caregivers, handles billing and payrol, and has back-up caregivers to fill in when needed. With a private hire caregiver, you’re responsible for setting up payroll and withholding taxes, caregiver vetting and background checks, and purchasing sufficient liability insurance to cover any accidents or injuries in the home.
Will my long-term care insurance cover home care?
It depends on your policy. If this is your first time using your benefits for home care, it’s best to contact your insurance provider to be sure that you have an active claim, confirm any applicable elimination period, and clarify the services covered under your policy.
