What
 
is
 
TheKey
 
Care
 
Experience
™
?
 
TheKey
 
Care
 
Experience
™
 
is
 
our
 
standard
 
for
 
delivering
 
care
 
that
 
starts
 
strong,
 
stays
 
steady,
 
adapts
 
when
 
needs
 
change,
 
and
 
earns
 
trust
 
by
 
operating
 
as
 
one
 
unified
 
team.
 
Clients
 
and
 
families
 
don’t
 
experience
 
Operations,
 
Sales,
 
or
 
national
 
support
 
teams
 
separately.
 
They
 
experience
 
us
 
as
 
one
 
team.

help
 
you

your

CARE Value Compe tency (Beha vior) Wha t This Means Compe tency Driven Actions 
Compassion Anticipatory Communication Surfaces risks early to reduce burden and anxiety. Addresses questions before they become concerns, ensuring families and partners feel supported. 
•
 
Communicate
 
before
 
being
 
asked
 
•
 
Provide
 
context,
 
not
 
just
 
updates
 
•
 
Make
 
it
 
easy
 
for
 
others
 
to
 
stay
 
informed
 
Adaptability Adaptive Problem Solving Takes personal responsibility for outcomes, not just tasks. Asks "If this continues, will it change how our care feels?" and acts to protect the standard. 
•
 
Respond
 
quickly
 
when
 
circumstances
 
change
 
•
 
Find
 
solutions
 
within
 
constraints
 
•
 
Prioritize
 
what
 
protects
 
the
 
experience
 
Resourcefulness Quality Vigilance Uses sound judgment and creativity to solve problems when the path forward isn't obvious. Adjusts quickly to keep care effective and human. 
•
 
Notice
 
early
 
warning
 
signs
 
•
 
Raise
 
concerns
 
even
 
when
 
uncomfortable
 
•
 
Prevent
 
small
 
issues
 
from
 
becoming
 
crises
 
Empathy Cross-Functional Partnership Collaborates across teams by seeking to understand the lived experience of colleagues and clients. Ensures seamless handoffs so no one feels "dropped." 
•
 
Understand
 
others’
 
constraints
 
and
 
priorities
 
•
 
Share
 
information
 
proactively
 
•
 
Solve
 
problems
 
together
 
(visibility,
 
not
 
blame)
 
 The Five Quality Pillars 
Quality
 
is
 
the
 
throughline
 
of
 
how
 
TheKey
 
Care
 
Experience
™
 
is
 
delivered,
 
monitored,
 
and
 
protected
 
every
 
day.
 
 Pillar Match Integrity Care Continuity Communic ation Clarity Proactiv e Monit oring Clien t Deligh t 
Wha t it means Intentional match aligned on skills, availability , temper amen t, and preferences. Steady schedules and though tful transitions so care doesn’t feel fragmen ted or reactiv e. Anticipa tory, reliable communic ation that’s easy to access; ques tions addr essed early . Early visibility into shifts in needs, fit, or care quality through observation and shar ed tools. Families experience confidence, ease, and trust—TheK ey as a steady guide, not just a provider 
When it’s done well Starts feel grounded; early friction is minimal; families sense the caregiver “gets” them. Care remains stable and predict able as needs evolve; context flows smoothly across support ers. Families feel informed; caregivers know wher e to go; escalations are rarer because expect ations are clear . Small shifts are surfaced before service failur es; CEAs support early course correction and learning. Care feels though tful, personal, and responsiv e; advocacy and referrals follow naturally.

  Rationale for Recruiter Incentive Metrics 
The
 
incentive
 
metrics

intentionally
 
selected

(2)
 
direct
 
drivers
 
of

Care
 
Experience
™
,
 
and
 
(3)
 
tightly
 
mapped
 
to
 
our
 
three
 
enterprise
 
priorities
 
for
 
2026.
