Working with The Key has been a great experience.
My mother had emergency hip surgery and i was scrambling the morning-of to arrange some in-home care for her.
I found The Key on Google and called them because I saw they were Houston based. Within a few hours, we had arranged 24hr care for a weeks duration for my mother.
They were sensative to my mothers needs and personality and we went through a questionaire to match my mom with the ideal caregivers.
Before my mom got home from surgery that evening, a caregiver was waiting.
The caregivers provided excellent, professional and compassionate service to my mom for a solid week, 24/7. My mother got the care she needed and she and the caregivers got along well.
Also, the rates for the service were reasonable.
Would definately use The Key again and recommend.

I’m so thankful we found this group of associates for my grandmother. Vernita was extremely helpful and genuinely expressed her care for us. We still stay in contact and she routinely checks in on us. Thank you Vernita. -The Parra and Lopez Family

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.
