Free Home Health Aide
Service Agreement
One bogus negligence claim from a grieving relative will drain your bank account faster than a busted water main. Without a signed paper trail, you're just one 'missing' piece of jewelry away from a lawsuit that'll strip you of your house and your license.
Pro Contractor Tip
Insert a 'Scope of Services' clause to ensure you aren't stuck scrubbing the whole family's floors when you're only paid to care for one patient.
Why use a written agreement?
Handshake deals are risky. As a Home Health Aide, "scope creep" is your biggest enemy. A clear agreement ensures everyone agrees on the deliverables before money changes hands.

Frequently Asked Questions
The family wants me to pick up their groceries on my way in; should I just do it?
No. If it’s not in the written scope, you’re off the clock and uninsured. Use your contract to define 'Authorized Tasks' so you aren't running errands for free on your own dime.
They missed my last two payments because of 'banking issues.' What now?
You aren't a charity. A 'Suspension of Service' clause in your agreement lets you walk off the job legally until the bill is settled, preventing you from digging a deeper hole.
What if they blame me for a fall that happened while I was in the kitchen?
If your contract includes a 'Hold Harmless' or 'Limitation of Liability' agreement, it protects you from being the scapegoat for the inevitable risks of elder care.
