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
IHSS is a Medi-Cal program and is funded by federal, state, and county dollars. Referrals are made to the county In-Home Supportive Services program. A county representative will ask questions to gather information about the nature of the person's disability, things that they need help with, their income, and assets.
Under the law, you are ineligible to work in the IHSS program ONLY if you have been convicted within the last 10 years of: 1) fraud against a government health care or supportive services program; 2) child abuse; or 3) abuse of an elder or dependent adult.
Of those who do get approved, it can take anywhere from two weeks to several months to finally receive benefits. This is due to the meticulous amount of paperwork involved, as well as the process of the case worker assessment, background check, and other procedures.
The Committee, consisting of consumers, providers, union representatives and advocates, was formally established on August 6, 2015. CDSS and the California Department of Human Resources (CalHR) are jointly supporting the IHSS Statewide Authority.
