A Family Caregiver Contract is a written agreement between a family caregiver and the individual receiving care (or their family members) that outlines the terms and expectations of the caregiving arrangement. The contract specifies the scope of care to be provided, including daily living assistance, medical care, and emotional support. It also addresses issues such as compensation (if applicable), working hours, responsibilities, and the duration of the caregiving arrangement. A Family Caregiver Contract can help prevent misunderstandings by clearly defining the caregiver’s role and the care recipient’s needs. It may also serve as a formal agreement in case of disputes or if the caregiver is compensated for their services.
