The Key is on top of everything they do. The staff is fabulous and the aides are wonderful. Our experience has been awesome. You can't go wrong with The Key. We use The Key for our parents and they are so happy which is amazing since they didn't want help at first.

Don't waste your time. They pay biweekly and during orientation Doris don't give you a definite answer. Everything is I don't know or maybe. Very rude as well, I'm glad I see that they don't care about there care givers. There are better companies out there willing and experienced in doing a good job at presentation when it comes to care giver joining there company. I was on zoom and even my parents heard how rude Doris was speaking to me then she said said " I'm being unfair to everyone else to ask personal questions" nothing about my questions was personal. Those questions I asked was 1. Do you pay weekly? 2. Do you have 7 day live in case? 3 what are some benefits your company offers? Nobody will join a company if you don't know how to sell your presentation during orientation and for god sake get some body that knows and has answers to people's questions.
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?
