The Comfort Care Registry is a community of independent providers, professionals, and practitioners who believe in compassion‑centered care. We do not employ, supervise, verify, or manage providers. All licenses and certifications are self‑reported. Families act as the hiring party and are responsible for interviewing, vetting, and selecting providers. All safety decisions made in the home are the responsibility of the family, and families choose what works best for their home. This platform does not provide medical advice.

Community Conduct Disclaimer (No Drama, No Politics, Safe for Everyone)
This registry is a neutral, professional environment designed to support families, providers, and agencies. To maintain a safe and accessible space for all members, the platform does not permit political discussions, culture‑war topics, personal disputes, or any form of drama‑based engagement. Profiles, posts, and interactions must remain focused on services, skills, and professional offerings. This standard ensures that every member can participate without pressure, conflict, or exposure to divisive content. The registry exists to support clarity, safety, and connection for everyone who uses it.

*FAMILY HIRING & RESPONSIBILITY*

Families using this registry act as the *hiring party*. They are responsible for:

– interviewing providers
– checking references
– reviewing credentials
– choosing who to hire
– setting expectations and boundaries
– determining safety practices in their home

Providers listed here are *independent contractors*, not employees of the registry.
——————————
*PROVIDER STATUS (INDEPENDENT CONTRACTORS)*

All providers operate as *independent contractors*. They:

– work for themselves
– set their own rates
– choose their own services
– carry their own insurance
– are responsible for their own compliance and scope

The registry does *not* employ, supervise, verify, or direct providers.
——————————
*FAMILY RIGHTS*

Families have the right to:

– hire independently without agency oversight
– choose or decline any service
– set boundaries and expectations
– select safety equipment for their home
– make decisions based on comfort and preference
– receive honest communication from providers

Families retain full responsibility for decisions made in their home.
——————————
*PROVIDER SAFETY EXPECTATIONS*

Providers listed here commit in their agreement to:

– offer only services they are trained or licensed to provide
– follow their own scope of practice
– communicate clearly and honestly
– respect family choices and home practices
– avoid installing restraints or enforcing facility rules
– maintain professional boundaries
– carry their own insurance

Providers are responsible for their own conduct and compliance.
——————————
*FAMILY SAFETY & TRANSPARENCY*

Families may choose any safety equipment they prefer in their home. Bed rails, grab bars, fall mats, and mobility aids are *not illegal*. “Right to fall” means no one can be restrained without consent — not that
safety tools are prohibited.

Providers do *not* install restraints or enforce facility rules. Private‑pay services differ from Medicaid services; families choose what works for them.

All safety information is *general knowledge only*, not medical advice.
