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
To become a caregiver in California, meet state requirements (work authorization, background check, good health), complete a Home Care Aide certification course and provide proof of vaccinations and a negative TB test.
California doesn't require a license for individual caregivers, but professional certification as a Home Care Aide (HCA) is highly recommended. This involves completing a state-approved training program and passing a state exam.
The applicant or their representative calls (916) 874-9471 to apply for IHSS. An Eligibility Specialist will take the application. Check if you are on Medi-Cal. If you don't have current Medi-Cal, a referral will be made for you to the Medi-Cal program and they will send you an application.
Home Care Aides (HCA) need 5 hours of initial training and 5 hours of annual training in specific topics which CareAcademy offers. Certified Nursing Assistant (CNAs) need 48 hours of continuing education over 2 years, 24 hours can be obtained through an approved provider like CareAcademy (NAC provider number 7047).
In conclusion, there are 4 types of caregivers: family caregivers, professional caregivers, volunteer caregivers, and informal caregivers. Each caregiver faces unique challenges, including physical and emotional exhaustion, financial strain, and balancing personal and caregiving responsibilities.
