We embrace a positive, balanced approach to aging centered on the evolving needs of older adults. Our hourly and live-in care plans offer our senior clients and their families complete flexibility and peace of mind. Care can be provided for as little as four hours a day or 24/7 around the clock. We are the live-in care experts offering specialty care for Dementia, Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, Cancer, Stroke & Post-Hospitalization. Unlike facility based assisted living, home care offers seniors customized one-on-one care enabling them to maintain their daily routine and remain independent in the comfort and familiarity of their own home. Learn why more and more families are choosing in-home assisted living to care for their loved one.

Going from the hospital to home after a procedure or fall is a critically important transition for older adults. For many, it also launches their first encounter with home care. Up to one in five will be readmitted within 30 days, with the first 72 hours being the most critical.

When it comes to these four key areas: nutrition and hydration, medication reminders, mobility, and other activities of daily living, proactive support is absolutely essential.

10/14/2025

Survey data shows that most people want to stay at home while they age. But it’s not always clear how to manage aging in place as needs change. Here are three things to consider when trying to determine what type of care your family may need:

• What daily tasks have become challenging?
• Which rooms and/or routines feel less safe than they used to?
• What kind of help would give everyone peace of mind?

Once you have a sense of your questions, needs, and priorities you will feel more confident navigating the care planning process.

Needs will change over time and that's completely normal. Strive to stay flexible and open to what might work best as things evolve.
What questions do you have about care options?

10/01/2025

Are you caring for aging loved ones from hundreds of miles away? You're not alone.

During your next call, listen for these indicators that may signal a need for more support:
• Repeating the same questions or stories.
• Struggling to describe daily routine or giving unclear or contradictory response about medications, appointments, or overall health.
• Rarely mentioning friends or activities they used to enjoy.
• Difficulty following the conversation.

Your action plan starts here:
• Start an honest, compassionate dialogue about what's working and what's not.
• Rally your trusted family or community network to share tasks.
• Consider technology for medication reminders, remote monitoring, or video check-ins.
• Engage professional home care like TheKey to offer hands-on support, real-time updates, and a direct line of connection to your loved one’s wellbeing..

At TheKey, we provide more than care with insight, connection, and continuity. Whether it’s helping with daily routines, catching critical changes in behaviors early, or offering companionship, we’re here to support your loved one’s safety and your peace of mind.

True caregiving goes far beyond the basics. While background checks and training matter, what really makes a difference is when a caregiver becomes an expert on your loved one. Every person has unique triggers and ways they find peace, knowing these details can turn a stressful situation into a manageable one. This attention to personality and individual needs is a central part of how TheKey home care supports client’s whole selves. Dr. Shadi Gholizadeh describes how we provide care that not only addresses unique care needs, but personal preferences, daily routines, and what brings comfort during difficult moments, too.

In-home care keeps you connected to your community. Personalized home care helps maintain your strong social ties, like Gerri’s grandma, Germaine, while you age in place

💙 Social connection is a lifeline as we age.

Meet Gerri and her 86-year-old grandmother Germaine. Their story shows how the right home care support helps older adults stay rooted in their communities while giving families peace of mind.

• Small daily rituals (like mahjong with friends) preserve identity and joy
• Home is where social connections live: neighbors, acquaintances, and weekly routines that matter

When families have professional support, both seniors and their loved ones can focus on what matters most: enjoying time together. Read the whole article from .

Helping children navigate conversations with grandparents and aging relatives can feel overwhelming, especially when those adults have cognitive changes. Remind everyone to focus on connection and not to worry about right and wrong answers. There’s no need to correct; just connect.

Improving mobility maintains independence. Here are four simple ways to stay steady:

✅Daily Routines - Incorporate movement into your everyday activities. Even standing on different surfaces can all build strength and stability.
✅Try a Class - Classes like Tai Chi or yoga can improve balance (and community).
✅Use Assistive Devices (When Needed) - Use grab bars, canes, or walkers consistently to build strength and practice proactive care.
✅Do a Home Safety Check - Remove clutter in walking paths to move safely through the home.

Ironically, fear of falling often leads to moving less, which increases fall risk. With proper support, you can stay active, confident, and independent. More information and inspiration at our blog (link in bio).

At TheKey, our caregivers are experienced in supporting safe daily movement and mobility. With the right approach, we help older adults stay active, engaged, and independent while honoring their routines and preferences.

Moraima Gutierrez and her mother Gladys Almonte found that personalized in-home care was essential in preserving Gladys' active social life, maintaining her cherished routines, and supporting her desire to age in place with dignity. Choosing the right care for an aging loved one doesn't have to mean sacrificing the independence and routines they cherish most.

Personalized in-home care that is functional and collaborative gives aging parents the tools they need to stay active and independent, like Gladys. Find the whole interview from below:

When families think about home care, they often focus on the medical aspects—medication management, mobility assistance, and health monitoring. But what makes home care truly special is how our caregivers seamlessly step into whatever role is needed throughout the day.

Throughout any given day, our caregivers might find themselves acting as a sous chef in the morning, helping prepare favorite meals just the way someone likes them. By afternoon, they've switched to personal assistant mode, organizing appointments and helping sort through important paperwork. And by evening, they're a trusted dinner companion, sharing stories and conversation over a home-cooked meal.

This adaptability isn't just nice to have—it's essential for quality home care. Every person has different needs at different times of day, and those needs change as health conditions evolve. Our caregivers are trained to recognize these shifts and respond with both professional skill and genuine compassion.

What's remarkable is how this personalized approach helps maintain independence and dignity. Instead of fitting into an inflexible care schedule, the care adapts to fit the person's life, preferences, and daily rhythms.
