Memory Care That Feels Like Home
When memory loss becomes a reality, one question rises above all others: How do you keep your loved one safe while also preserving who they are and keeping them engaged with life?
At TheKey Home Care, you don't have to choose
Our memory care services are designed around our proprietary Balanced Care Method®, a whole-person approach that prioritises safety, brain health, and overall well-being. Built on six research-based pillars, each personalised Alzheimer’s care plan helps your loved one find connection and moments of joy, even as abilities change.
Here’s what that looks like day-to-day.
What Daily Life Looks Like With Our Memory Care
Flex Your Mind
Brain-boosting activities matched to your loved one’s current abilities, from gentle reminiscence to engaging puzzles, help maintain mental function and spark moments of joy and recognition.
Nourish & Hydrate
Good nutrition and hydration support brain health. We help with meal preparation, encourage regular eating patterns, and make mealtimes a pleasant, social experience.
Move More
Physical activity adapted to mobility levels helps maintain function, reduces restlessness, and improves sleep quality. Even a short daily walk can make a difference.
Connect with Others
Regular social engagement through conversation, music, or shared activities reduces isolation and supports emotional well-being.
Engage with Joy and Purpose
We build care around interests and life history, creating meaningful moments that honour the person they've always been.
Sleep Well
Consistent routines and calming evening practices help improve sleep patterns, which boosts both cognitive function and daytime mood.

Lincoln, NEFrequently Asked Questions
No. Many families come to us before a formal diagnosis, when they’re simply noticing changes. We can help you understand what you're seeing and begin home care for dementia early, before safety concerns or stress become larger problems.
We use our TheKeyMatch™ framework to look at personality, communication style, interests, routines, and care needs. Once care begins, our care team will check in regularly to ensure it’s the right fit and make adjustments as needed. This is done via phone or in-person and can include both client and family, if desired. Our goal is to find a caregiver match that will build into a strong enduring partnership.
This is very common. Our caregivers are trained to ease our clients into the transition using patience and gentle redirection to build trust gradually. We start at a comfort level that feels safe and familiar, so care becomes a welcome part of daily life.
If you're having difficulty starting the home care conversation with your loved one, we have approaches that have worked for other families.
Care begins with support for daily routines and companionship. Over time, it may include more structure, safety oversight, personal care, mobility assistance, and caregiver relief for family members. We adjust the care plan as needs evolve, even if this means moving to a new location, we are able to support transition and provide continuity of care across these stages.
No. Home health is physician ordered medical care delivered under a formal plan of treatment. Hospice is palliative comfort care. Memory care through TheKey provides ongoing daily support, engagement, and safety for someone living with dementia, for as long as it’s needed.
We’ll help you decide based on your loved one’s abilities, risks, and level of family support. There's no "one-size-fits-all"—the right amount of care is what keeps your loved one safe while giving your family the relief you need.
