In-Home Elder Care Agreement

Elder care is a broad spectrum of services provided to senior citizens who need help performing normal, daily activities or dealing with health issues. A family may hire an in-home caregiver in which case it's important to write up an elder care agreement.

Function

• The elder care agreement acts as a contract between you and the caregiver you have hired. According to the AARP, an elder care agreement should include when the care will begin, the daily tasks that will be performed, the work hours, the pay and pay schedule, the length of the agreement and a statement that the terms of the agreement can only be changed when both parties agree.

Benefits

• An elder care agreement provides clear instruction about what the caregiver should be doing and when it should be done. Writing up an agreement also gives each family member a chance to give input regarding the type of care provided. Once an agreement has been reached, it should help the family avoid future conflict.

Considerations

• You may want to hire a lawyer to draw up the agreement. Some attorneys specialize in elder care and can walk you through the steps of the agreement and provide helpful suggestions.
