Personalized Home Care for Seniors in Halifax
Older adults in Halifax looking to age in place can often benefit from the support of in-home caregivers. When completing tasks like dressing, driving, or cooking independently is no longer possible, where to turn for support is often unclear. Relying on the help of friends and family members can be difficult. That’s where a trusted home care agency helps fill the gap. Professional caregivers are trained in everything from companionship to fall prevention to dementia care. Our customized care plans provide older adults with reliable, compassionate care while giving their loved ones peace of mind.
Senior Care that Goes Beyond
TheKey’s approach to helping Halifax seniors is centered on exceptional care. Our care experts bring years of experience to each home care visit. As the world’s elderly population continues to grow, we’ll be here to help families age with dignity.
Our Balanced Care Method™ emphasizes a healthy mind, body, and spirit. This holistic approach focuses on nutrition, mental health, and overall wellness, enhancing 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 daily.

How much does home care cost in Halifax, Nova Scotia?
Home care is typically billed by the hour, with costs varying slightly by region. Most families pay out-of-pocket for their care. However, several government programs and tax credits are available to help subsidize the cost of care in different provinces.
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 backup 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.
