Caregiver respite visit + ZBI-4 burden check + warm handoff — Los Angeles County.

Strained family caregivers carried a 63% higher four-year mortality risk (Schulz & Beach 1999) and a steeper inflammatory ageing curve (Kiecolt-Glaser 2003); in Los Angeles County most caregiving is unpaid and unrelieved. A few hours of hosted relief a week is the care nobody funds.

This packet is not funded yet, so this figure is a proposed price and not money waiting in escrow. If a buyer funds it, approved proof settles that price onchain. If nobody funds it, approved proof earns provable credit toward the work instead of cash — recorded, and readable any time at vealth.net/labor/credit/(your wallet). You see which before you claim, never after.

Proof

visit log (≥3 h relief, what the caregiver did with the time in their words) + ZBI-4 total (0-16) + one concrete support offered and any accepted handoff named + boundary list kept + red flags recorded absent or routed (988 / APS / clinician / emergency)

This is exactly what gets it approved. Nothing settles without it.

How this work is done

A documented method, so this packet comes out the same whoever does it.

Bring

• the ZBI-4 screening version on paper or phone (four items, each scored 0 never / 1 rarely / 2 sometimes / 3 quite frequently / 4 nearly always; total 0-16)
• a printed list of local caregiver-support resources (Area Agency on Aging or its equivalent, caregiver support groups, formal respite programs, 211) and the 988 Suicide and Crisis Lifeline number
• a meal or groceries for the household, and whatever the cared-for person enjoys (a game, music, a walk if they are steady on their feet)
• a visit log (date, hours of relief given, what the caregiver did with the time, the ZBI-4 total, anything routed)

Steps

1. 1. Arrange the block at the caregiver's chosen time; confirm the cared-for person's routine, what they enjoy, and the boundaries below (no medication administration, no lifting or transfers, no personal care).
2. 2. Take over companionship and supervision of the cared-for person so the caregiver leaves, rests, or does what they choose; the relief is the point, so protect the full block.
3. 3. Share a meal or bring groceries; do the ordinary household help the caregiver named (dishes, laundry, a tidy).
4. 4. Before the caregiver leaves or on return, ask the four ZBI-4 items in conversation and record the total (0-16); say it is a way of noticing how heavy the load is, not a test.
5. 5. Offer one concrete support (a standing weekly respite slot, a caregiver group, a formal respite program, benefits counselling) and, where the caregiver agrees, make the call or introduction together.
6. 6. Note anything that is not a respite visitor's to handle (see the decision rules) and route it; log the visit; the record belongs to the caregiver.

What counts as done

• At least 3 hours of relief given, logged in the caregiver's own words
• ZBI-4 total (0-16) with the date
• One concrete support offered, and any handoff the caregiver accepted (who, when)
• Boundary list kept (no medication, no transfers, no personal care) and every red flag absent or routed as the rule says

Proof is measured against these, not judged by taste.
