I am very happy we found The Key and Caregiver John to care for my Dad. From day one he has provided Dad with 100% dedication to his care, comfort and happiness. I tried 2 other agencies and 6 previous live-in caregivers that I found were not treating my Dad kindly and not providing adequate care in my absence , before being told about the Key. As a daughter who wants the best for her Dad, I have found John to care for my Dad as if he is his own father, with the utmost in care, patience and respect.

We have been working with TheKey for more than a year to provide support for my nonagenarian Mom. One particular employee, Malachi Whittemore, RN, deserves special praise for his attention to detail, follow-through, thoughtfulness, and empathy. Highly recommended!

I am in need of home care again and I only made one call- TheKey! My first experience was so positive that I asked and, was able to get, the same caregiver I had before. Tops in my book! Highly recommended.
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.
How are you protecting your clients from COVID-19?
We follow infection mitigation best practices and safety protocols, informed by the CDC and local authorities, and provide appropriate PPE to our caregivers. The majority of our caregivers and Care Team members are fully vaccinated against COVID-19.
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.
