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.

FAQ
Sit down at a table, lean forward and firmly pinch the soft part of your nose, just above your nostrils, for at least 10 to 15 minutes. Lean forward and breathe through your mouth. Spit out any blood that collects in your throat or mouth into a bowl. Do not swallow any blood.
Pinch the soft part of their nose and ask them to lean forward. Pinching the nose helps the blood to clot. Leaning forward stops blood going into the airway or stomach. Ask them to breathe through their mouth and to spit out any blood.
Stopping a bleeding nose Stay calm and reassure the child that they are safe. Ask the child to sit upright in a chair or on the caregivers' lap. Tilt the child's head slightly forward. Do not ask the child to lean back.
Squeeze the nostrils closed for 5 to 10 minutes. Don't stop pinching to check if bleeding has stopped. Run a cool mist humidifier in your child's room at night, if the air in your home is dry. Teach your child not to pick their nose or blow it too hard.
First aid management for nosebleeds Sit the person up straight and drop their head slightly forward. Apply finger and thumb pressure on the soft part of nostrils below the bridge of the nose for at least 10 minutes. Encourage the person to breathe through their mouth while their nostrils are pinched.
Certification and Caregiver Training Requirements Personal Aide/Caregiver: An in-home caregiver in Pennsylvania is required to complete an 8 hour course and pass an exam to become a certified caregiver. The course covers basic training such as infection control, communication skills, and emergency procedures.
Key Recommendations. Individuals with a nosebleed who require prompt management should receive treatment for active bleeding with firm sustained compression to the lower third of the nose, with or without the assistance of the patient or caregiver, for 5 minutes or longer.
Initially, treatment is generally the application of pressure for at least five minutes over the lower half of the nose. If this is not sufficient, nasal packing may be used. Tranexamic acid may also be helpful.
Nosebleeds may be caused by infection, injury, allergic reaction, nose picking or an object being pushed into the nostril. Another name for nosebleed is epistaxis. Bleeding from the nose is common in children and is usually not serious.
