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
A guardian is different from a caregiver because when a child has a caregiver, either the caregiver or the parent can make decisions for the child. When a child has a guardian, only the guardian, not the parent, can make decisions.
The form is also called a "Caregiver Authorization Affidavit." The form says you are sharing medical and educational decision-making power with the caregiver you name. You can find instructions from the Massachusetts Probate Court on how to fill out the form.
The Family & Medical Leave Act (FMLA) and the California Family Rights Act (CFRA) both can provide protections to caregivers, such as leave of absence and claims for interference with these rights, as well as claims for retaliation against exercising rights to FMLA and CFRA leaves.
A Caregiver's Authorization Affidavit is an official form based on California's recognition that adults who have minors living with them are “caregivers” who often want and need to take some responsibility for the minor's education and other care.
