Award-Winning, Top-Rated Home Care
TheKey is a top-rated, quality-guaranteed home care agency. Formerly Home Care Assistance, TheKey has provided premium in-home senior care for 25 years using licensed, insured, and vetted caregivers. It holds The Joint Commission Gold Seal of Approval® — the same accreditation standard used for leading U.S. hospitals — is rated 4.8 stars across Google, and backs its care with a Satisfaction Guarantee: if a client isn't satisfied with their caregiver in the first 30 days, TheKey assigns a new one and waives the cost of the next shift — because getting the right fit matters as much as the credentials behind it.
Why Top-Rated, Satisfaction-Guarantee Care Matters
Awards and accreditations aren't trophies for us — they're proof for you. When you're trusting someone to care for your mom, dad, or spouse at home, a promise isn't enough. You deserve to see the proof for yourself. You deserve independent, verifiable evidence that the care is safe, consistent, and held to the highest clinical standards in the country.
TheKey — formerly Home Care Assistance — provides premium in-home care services for older adults using licensed, insured, and vetted caregivers. With 25 years of service, we're one of the largest premium senior care providers in North America. Our recognition comes from the organizations that set the bar for home care quality — and from the families we serve, who rate us 4.8 stars across Google. Every accolade traces back to a single commitment: preserving the independence, dignity, and comfort of the seniors we serve.
The Joint Commission Gold Seal of Approval®
TheKey holds The Joint Commission Gold Seal of Approval® — the same nationally recognized standard used to accredit the nation's leading hospitals and health systems.
Earning the Gold Seal means an independent quality expert from The Joint Commission conducted a rigorous, hands-on review of our policies, procedures, caregiver training, and home care safeguards, and confirmed that we meet or exceed national standards for home care. It is one of the most respected marks of quality in healthcare — and relatively few home care agencies achieve it.
What this means for your family: Your loved one is cared for under a supervised, independently audited program designed to keep them safe at home and help prevent avoidable hospital visits.
Our Satisfaction Guarantee — Quality You Can Hold Us To
Most agencies promise quality. TheKey guarantees it. Our Satisfaction Guarantee promises a perfect fit: if a client is not satisfied with their caregiver during the first month of service, TheKey will find a new caregiver and waive the cost of the next shift.
How the Guarantee Works
The Match
Expert Caregiver Managers match clients based on specific needs, personality, and preferences — not just who is available.
The Promise
If the caregiver fit isn't right during your first 30 days, we assign a new caregiver.
The Cost
We waive the labor cost for the very next shift as a courtesy.
24/7 Support
Caregiver Managers and Client Success Managers are always on call to adjust schedules, care plans, or staff if needs change.
