Looking for Senior Home Care Services in Mountain View?
Recognizing the unique needs of seniors in Mountain View is important when looking for senior home care solutions. Tasks once taken for granted, like personal hygiene and dressing, now demand assistance, which can be difficult for both the person needing care and the loved ones taking care of them. Transitioning from independent living to requiring assistance can be a big adjustment for elderly family members. This is where a reputable home care agency like TheKey can make a major difference.
Our senior home care services encompass a diverse range of offerings, from part-time personal care assistance to round-the-clock support. Our team of professional care experts and award-winning caregivers manage each personalized care plan with expertise and dedication.

Our Balanced Care Method™ emphasizes a healthy mind, body, and spirit. This holistic approach focuses on nutrition, mental health, and overall wellness — which enhances quality of life.
The method originated by studying the elders of Okinawa, Japan, where residents routinely live to be over 100 years old, enjoying good health and purpose. Inspired by this, we’ve made it our mission to inspire joy every day.

Navigating the Home Care Discussion
Starting the conversation with a loved one about home care can be challenging. Our checklist will help you approach the topic in an effective, empathetic way.
What’s the best home care?
The best home care is provided by reliable, professional caregivers who are trained and backed by a home care agency that’s insured, providing oversight, care guidance, and back-up caregivers as needed.
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 important 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.

Is home care better than moving to assisted living?
Nine out of ten older adults would prefer to live independently in the home they know and love rather than moving to a facility or assisted living community.
With the right level of support, most people can continue to live safely and comfortably at home even as they age with a progressive illness or condition.

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.
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 payroll, 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.
