I have had a great experience working at TheKey Senior Home Care. The team is supportive, welcoming, and genuinely cares about both clients and caregivers. One thing I really appreciated was transparent about PTO and company policies. Everything is explained clearly, and requesting or understanding time off was straightforward, which has made planning much less stressful. Communication is professional, scheduling is well organized, and I feel respected as an employee. The work environment encourages teamwork, and I have always felt comfortable reaching out with questions or concerns. It's rewarding to work for a company that values both quality of care for clients and fairness towards its staff. Overall, I would recommend TheKey to anyone looking for a professional, supportive, and trustworthy place to work or receive senior care.

They provided professional and excellent care for my mother when I needed someone fast. Jenny Castillo met with us at our house and thoroughly explained their services. The next day she had a caregiver for my mom and they got along very well. What a relief! Thanks again Jenny!

Amazing experience with TheKey. Quick text replies, set up and coordination. Unbelievably helpful and patient managers - Jinny and Malin - and great care givers. Toyin, who helped take care of my elderly father with dementia, was beyond wonderful - warm, patient, understanding. She became part of the family. Thank you for your help - we are forever grateful for everything you have done!
