A caregiver and family agreement is a written plan that defines roles, responsibilities, costs, and decision making for care recipients and the people involved in their care.
Key elements include caregiver roles, financial arrangements, powers of attorney, care schedules, and dispute resolution. The process typically involves drafting, review, execution, and periodic updates.
