A caregiver and family agreement is a written plan that sets expectations for care duties, decision making, and financial arrangements.
It helps families align on goals and protect both loved ones and caregivers as needs evolve.
These agreements document who provides care, how decisions are made, how costs are shared, and what happens if plans change or a caregiver can no longer help.
Key elements include roles and responsibilities, financial arrangements, medical decision making, dispute resolution, and review timelines; the process typically involves assessment, drafting, review, and signing.
