Award-Winning, Top-Rated Home Care
TheKey is a top-rated, quality-guaranteed home care agency. Formerly Home Care Assistance, We have provided premium in-home senior care for over 25 years using, insured, and vetted caregivers.
TheKey has earned The Joint Commission Gold Seal of Approval®, the same nationally recognized accreditation standard used by many of the nation's leading hospitals, reflecting our commitment to quality, safety, and clinical excellence. We are also proud to maintain a 4.8-star Google rating, demonstrating the trust and satisfaction of the families we serve.
To provide additional peace of mind, every new client is backed by TheKey Satisfaction Guarantee.

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 standards in the country.
TheKey provides premium in-home care services for older adults using insured, screened, 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 nationally recognized standards for home care. It is one of the most respected marks of quality in the industry— and relatively few home care agencies achieve it.
What this means for your family: Your loved one is cared for through an independently audited program designed to support safe, high-quality care in the home through consistent quality standards and oversight.
Our Satisfaction Guarantee — Quality You Can Hold Us To
Most agencies promise quality. TheKey guarantees it. Our Satisfaction Guarantee reflects our commitment to delivering an exceptional care experience. If a client is not satisfied with the services provided during the first month of service, TheKey will work with the client and family to make it right, including assigning a different caregiver, if appropriate, and waiving the cost of the next shift.
