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
Family caregiving is the act of providing at-home care for a relative, friend, or other loved one with a physical or mental health problem. As life expectancies increase, medical treatments advance, and more people live with chronic illnesses and disabilities, many of us find ourselves caring for a loved one at home.
Here are some steps you can take when writing your caregiver resume: Read over the job description. Write your header. Include a professional summary. Outline your work experience. List your skills. Include your education and training. Mention your certifications and licenses. Proofread your work.
What do caregivers need most? Listen attentively. Really listen to what they have to say. Don't tell horror stories. Don't be judgmental. Ask what they need. Offer the gift of your time. Give your friend space. Bring food. Offer to take your friend out—and help arrange respite care.
The purpose of the Caregiver Assessment Tool (CAT) is to gain an understanding of the Caregiver, the Caregiver's perspective of the caregiving relationship, and the Caregiver's needs. The questions in the CAT facilitate a rapport between the Care Manager and the Caregiver.
What to Include in a Checklist for Caregivers Name of caregiver on duty. Date the checklist is being used. Name of patients. Patient's morning, afternoon, and evening routines, such as: Taking medication and vital signs. Eating food and drinking water. Housekeeping tasks to do. Changes in patient's condition, if any.
While everyone's needs are unique, a checklist can help ensure the caregiving family member does everything necessary to ensure the safety and well-being of their loved one.
