Care For Life: Private Care Agreements Between Older Adults and Friends or Family Members
Bibliographic record
Abstract
A care agreement involves the conveyance of property (typically the family home) by an older adult to a trusted person - perhaps an adult child or other relative, perhaps a friend of neighbour - in exchange for a promose of lifetime care. Care agreements, on their face, may have real attractions for older adults who wish to stay in the family home and to meet increasing needs for care and companionship through compensation to an intimate as opposed to a professional stranger. Fear of institutional care (the nursing home) is a major motivation. Despite this superficial attraction, however,serious negative consequences may arise, especially where the agreement is informal and vague in terms (as is very often the case). This article describes the phenomenon of the care agreement, its pitfalls, and the role of the law in providing fair remedy and preventing unintended negative consequences.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
