Notwithstanding the foregoing, You acknowledge that we have no duty or obligation to verify Your relationship to the Care Recipient and are entitled to rely on Your above representation without further inquiry. You agree to indemnify and hold Us harmless from any against any and all claims, damages, losses, costs, expenses, and all other liabilities arising from or relating to any untruthfulness of the above representation.

At Your request Lizzy Care can also provide Companion Services. Lizzy Care will pair You with one or more Lizzy Care companions (each a “Companion”) to provide companionship and related, non-clinical services (the “Companion Services”) for the Care Recipient. Depending on Your and the Care Recipient’s needs, Companion Services can include but are not limited to: regular visits and in-person interaction between the Companion and the Care Recipient, assistance with running errands, providing regular updates on the Care Recipient’s general health and wellness on the Lizzy Care App.

You understand that the Companion is not a professional healthcare provider, and that, in addition to all of the services that are specifically excluded under the Service Agreement, You agree that the Companion Services will not include:

• physical, occupational, or any other kind of motor or cognitive therapy;
• clinical assessments of the Care Recipient’s health or clinical diagnoses of any condition;
• prescriptions to obtain or receive any kind of treatment; or
• any other service that is required, by law, to be provided by a licensed professional.

Additionally, You understand that the Companion Services are dependent, in part upon Your cooperation. You agree that You will:

• inform Lizzy Care and the Companion of all known special conditions of the home or dwelling where the Companion will meet the Care Recipient and be responsible for any injuries suffered by the Care Recipient;
• provide all relevant information reasonably requested by the Companion to improve and enhance the effectiveness of the Companion Services;
• not request or pressure the Companion to provide any service that he or she is not qualified to provide;
• attempt to be available by phone or in person during all scheduled visits in the event of an emergency.

Emergencies

If a medical emergency occurs during a Companion visit, You understand that our Companions are not trained in rendering, and will not provide, any form of emergency care. We will discuss with you and establish a plan of action in the event of a medical emergency.

You also agree and consent to giving each Companion the discretion to dial 911 or otherwise arrange for the immediate provision of emergency care services by trained professionals. You agree that any emergency services ultimately provided may incur additional fees and expenses, which, in signing this Rider, You agree to assume and pay.

You further agree to hold Lizzy Care harmless from and against any costs, fees, expenses, lawsuits, and all other liabilities related to any such emergency situation.

Scheduling 

Lizzy Care will provide the Companion Services at a predetermined schedule to be arranged with You. Companion Services are generally provided in person but can also be provided virtually under extenuating circumstances including inclement weather and health or safety hazards such as having a communicable illness. If you would like to make changes to your service schedule, contact your Lizzy Care coach or account manager. Please do not communicate requests for service changes with your individual Companion(s). 

Lizzy Care will always endeavor to provide Companion Services to meet your schedule but cannot guarantee availability.

Change and Cancellation Policy; Late/No Show Policy
