A caregiver and family agreement is a written plan that clarifies roles, responsibilities, compensation, and decision making for ongoing care. It ensures everyone understands who does what and how decisions are made. The document helps coordinate care with medical providers and supports smoother transitions if needs change.

Include scope of care, duties, scheduling, compensation, payment terms, termination, confidentiality, and a process for updating the agreement as circumstances evolve. It may also cover how medical decisions are made and communications with providers.
Payments are described in the contract, including who pays whom, timing, and whether reimbursements are allowed. The agreement can specify tax considerations and documentation for expenses.
Review the agreement at least annually or after major health changes, moves, or shifts in caregiving duties to keep it accurate and relevant.
