This form is a sample of an agreement between an elderly or disabled client and a Caregiver who operates as an independent contractor and provides personnel to assist Client to live at home and to have as much control over the home environment and life as possible under the circumstances. Caregiver's personnel also assist Client with the activities of daily living, scheduling medication, assistance with mobility, accompanying Client on errands and appointments, and such other services as agreed between Client and Caregiver.
In this agreement, Client waives damages for simple negligence of Caregiver, but not gross negligence or misconduct that is intentional or criminal in nature. Courts generally will not enforce waivers of this type of misconduct since such a waiver would be deemed to be against public policy because it would encourage dangerous and illegal behavior.

What is meant by 'DDC'? Within the health professions many people are believed to be “double duty caregivers” (DDCs) – those individuals who provide care both at home and at work.
Key responsibilities include: Personal care: Assist clients with daily living activities such as bathing, dressing, grooming, and toileting. Medication management: Administer prescribed medications and monitor for side effects, ensuring compliance with care plans.
A caregiver may be motivated to provide care for many reasons, by feelings of duty and responsibility as well as of guilt. Doty (1986) identified three factors underlying family caregiving motivations: love and affection, desire to reciprocate past help and societal norms.
These five principles are safety, dignity, independence, privacy, and communication. Nurse assistants keep these five principles in mind as they perform all of their duties and actions for the patients in their care.
Emphasis on Role: “Caregiver” and “carer” emphasize the act of giving care, with a focus on the practical and emotional work involved. “Caretaker” suggests a more functional or managerial role, often with a broader focus on property or task management.
