Scientific Advisory Board
TheKey’s Scientific Advisory Board is a distinguished, multidisciplinary group of experts in dementia and aging who collaborate with our in-house specialists to advance research and clinical excellence. By sharing insights on Alzheimer’s disease, related dementias, and successful aging, they help deepen our understanding of the evolving needs of individuals living with dementia and chronic illness. Their expertise informs how we assess needs, develop care plans, train caregivers, and deliver a whole-person approach to care, while also strengthening our commitment to supporting both professional and family caregivers.

Built on 25+ Years of Experience, Focused on the Future
For over two decades, we've been delivering exceptional in-home care, first as Home Care Assistance, and now as TheKey, offering even more comprehensive solutions to support long-term aging at home. Our name has evolved to reflect our expanded mission, but our values and commitment to quality remain unchanged.
As the older adult population grows rapidly, with 9 out of 10 people preferring to stay in their own homes as they age, our leadership team is focused on meeting this need with innovative, science-backed care that goes beyond basic services. With deep expertise in operations, clinical care, technology, and customer experience, we're building the future of aging at home.
