Life Keys Services

Life Keys connects families and individuals with trusted independent care practitioners and supports caregivers in building sustainable, values-aligned care practices. We provide thoughtful matching, care navigation, training, and cooperative pathways across Colorado.

Life Keys is a placement and support organization. We are not a direct care provider.

For Families & Clients

Caregiver Matching & Placement

Life Keys helps families identify and connect with independent care practitioners based on care needs, preferences, schedules, and household dynamics. This includes companion care, personal care support, respite, recovery assistance, and help with daily routines.

Care Navigation & Planning

We help families make sense of care options and next steps. Support may include clarifying care needs, identifying community and benefit resources, coordinating caregiving roles, and developing a realistic, sustainable care plan.

How Care Arrangements Work

Life Keys connects families with independent care practitioners. Caregivers are not employees of Life Keys.

• Pay rates are agreed upon directly between families and caregivers
• Schedules, duties, and expectations are set by mutual agreement
• Care decisions occur within the family–caregiver relationship

Life Keys supports clarity, planning, and coordination while honoring caregiver independence.

For Care Professionals

Support for Independent Care Practitioners

Life Keys works with care professionals who want meaningful work, professional respect, and long-term sustainability. We support caregivers providing non-medical, home-based care to children, adults, elders, and families.

Your Independent Practice

Care professionals who work through Life Keys operate as independent practitioners, not employees of Life Keys.

• You set rates directly with clients
• You determine availability and scheduling
• Care terms are established by mutual agreement

Training, Coaching & Professional Support

Optional training, workshops, and coaching are available to support skill-building, communication, boundaries, documentation, safety, and professionalism in home-based care.

Cooperative Pathway Education

Optional education and readiness support for caregivers interested in exploring member-owner cooperative pathways, including foundational business skills needed to build a sustainable independent care practice such as pricing, boundaries, client agreements, recordkeeping, and long-term planning.

How Life Keys Charges

Clear, Transparent Fees

Life Keys charges for placement, navigation, training, and professional support services. We do not take a percentage of caregiver wages and do not control caregiver pay.

For Families & Clients

Comprehensive Intake and Care Assessment
A structured conversation and review to understand care needs, routines, preferences, risks, scheduling, and goals. The assessment also identifies resources that support consistent care, whether care is provided by a family member or an independent care practitioner, including social supports such as food access, home maintenance, pet care, transportation, and other daily living needs.

This is a non-medical assessment focused on care coordination, planning, and resource connection.

Caregiver Matching and Placement Support
Support identifying, introducing, and onboarding independent care practitioners, including interview guidance, role clarification, and support during the initial start of care.

Optional Ongoing Support and Care Navigation
As-needed support for adjustments, transitions, coordination with community resources, and evolving care needs. Services may be hourly, package-based, or project-based.

For Care Professionals

Care professionals may choose to pay for optional training, coaching, professional profile support, and cooperative pathway education. Participation is voluntary and aligned with individual goals.

What Life Keys Does Not Do
