I always have a wonderful experience with the key.
Whether, I am working with Anna Hetterick or Rachel Anderson-Capone, I know I am always going to get answers and service in a fast and professional manner.
These two have helped many families I have referred and will offer guidance and support.

We have used this agency from July, 2021 to May, 2022 and then again from March, 2023 to the present. We have been very happy with the care given to both my parents. My Dad was a fall risk and they kept him safe and even did many things to help my Mom even though that was not their job. My Dad would complain that they were "always on top of him" which we were happy to hear. My Dad stopped being a fall risk so we stopped using them. We were so happy with them we hired them again! Mom became a fall risk and aggressive due to Alzheimer and Parkinson's. They have been great once again! Mom enjoys their company, she has gained 10 lbs and they take her for strolls outside. She definitely has a better quality of life with these aides. We are so grateful to Doris and Eileen for taking such good care of my mother.
Frequently Asked Questions About TheKey by Home Care Assistance
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.
