Terms of use

Last updated August 20, 2026.

By using careguard.ai you agree to these terms. They are short because the site is informational.

What this site is

An information site published by CareGuard, a Patient Safety Organization listed by the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (PSO P0268), operated by Sevadar Foundation Inc., a 501(c)(3) nonprofit.

What this site is not

• Not legal advice. The pages describing attorney work product and patient safety work product describe how a workflow is designed and what a statute says. They do not tell you how a court will rule on your document, and no attorney-client relationship is created by reading them or by using the reporting channel.
• Not medical advice. The pages on deprescribing, restraints and monitoring describe a clinical discipline and CareGuard’s positions. Nobody should start, stop or change a medication based on them. That is a conversation with a prescriber.
• Not a regulatory filing route. A report submitted through this site goes to a facility’s ownership and its attorneys. It is not a filing with any government agency and does not discharge any mandatory reporting duty. Official routes.
• Not an emergency service. Nothing here is monitored in real time. Call 911.
• Not a certification, accreditation or endorsement of any facility. CareGuard issues none of those. What CareGuard is not.

Using the reporting channel

• Report in good faith. Knowingly submitting false information helps nobody and may expose you to liability CareGuard cannot shield you from.
• Do not submit a resident’s identifying health information where the situation can be described without it, and do not submit photographs of residents.
• CareGuard does not retain reports and therefore cannot confirm receipt, provide status, or resend.
