Client Service Agreement

Following are the Terms of Service.

Life Foundation Home Care shall provide home care services according to the careplan.

SERVICE CHANGES: Changes in services provided must be discussed with our office as well as the caregivers. This includes changes in days or numbers of hours scheduled as well as changes in the duties performed by the caregivers. Life Foundation Home Care will do its best to provide a replacement caregiver if the designated client caregiver is unavailable. However, there could be a possibility that the client family may have to provide temporary support in the event Life Foundation Home Care cannot find an immediate replacement caregiver.

EMPLOYEE RECRUITING/HIRING: Our employees cannot work directly for you. All services are provided through Life Foundation Home Care. Client will take no steps to recruit as its own employees those Caregivers provided by Life Foundation Home Care during the term of this Agreement. Client understands Life Foundation Home Care is not an employment agency and that its employees are assigned to the client to render temporary service and are not assigned to become employed by the client. The client further acknowledges the considerable expense incurred by the Life Foundation Home Care to advertise, recruit, interview, evaluate, reference check, and supervise its employees. In recognition of the substantial efforts made by Life Foundation Home Care in providing quality staff to Client, in the event that the Client employs or retains as a contractor any Life Foundation Home Care employee provided to the Client at any time within twenty four (24) months of ending such employment/retention by the Client, the Client agrees to paying Life Foundation Home Care a placement fee equal to twenty five percent (25%) of the employee's total annual compensation as per the amount a full-time employee with Life Foundation Home Care is paid annually. This provision shall survive termination of this Agreement.

CANCELING APPOINTMENTS: You will be billed a minimum of 4 hours of your scheduled time for appointments cancelled with less than 24 hours notice.

SERVICE CANCELLATION: This agreement shall continue until terminated by either party. Service can be terminated at any time. We appreciate at least 24hrs notice, however, so we can inform the caregiver.

CONSENT FOR CARE: Client consents to receive care and services from Life Foundation Home Care, in accordance with the care plan developed with my input and consent and based on client needs.
