From our first contact with the eminently professional client success manager Kristal to our fantastic psw Ramandeep The Key has been immensely helpful to our family: always reliable and punctual, pleasantly responsive and resourceful to any questions or concerns, and genuinely empathetic.
A joy to work with at a time in our family when that is invaluable. A testament to their field, our family is forever grateful.

Looking for a caregiver for my father started out as an overwhelming task but as soon as I spoke with my first contact person at The Key, I instantly felt relief knowing that I've found a great agency. After several discussions about my father's situation and his needs and preferences, I was ensured that a suitable caregiver would be found. After a few weeks, a caregiver started and it has been a blessing ever since. My dad's care needs have been met beyond our expectations and we are thrilled to have someone who is patient, caring and gentle with him. It has provided us with security knowing that my father is in good hands. I would highly recommend The Key to anyone who is looking for in home care for a loved one.
