Caregiver Registration

Caregivers and the services they provide are vital to shareholders in need of assistance with daily living. Hiring a caregiver is a private matter between the shareholder and the caregiver agency or individual of your choice.

The Mutual Corporations passed Policy 7557 to set guidelines by which a caregiver can obtain a pass to enter the community. Compliance with this policy’s provisions is mandatory.

To obtain a caregiver pass, the shareholder or caregiver may pick up an application in Stock Transfer.

General requirements include: • Shareholders must provide a doctor’s note stating that a caregiver is needed for assistance with daily living.

The note must be issued on medical office letterhead. Notes are valid for one year and are maintained on file.

• Some Mutual Corporations require caregivers to provide a City of Seal Beach Business License on an annual basis. Check with Stock Transfer or your Mutual Board of Directors to determine requirements.

• Family members providing assistance are required to register as caregivers, but are exempt from the City of Seal Beach Business License requirement.

• Caregiver passes expire June 30 and Dec. 31 each year.

• Caregivers must have their photos taken by a Stock Transfer employee.

• Caregivers must register for each shareholder they work for.

• Guest passes will be confiscated if found in caregiver’s possession.

• Caregivers are not allowed to park in the resident’s carport space without prior Mutual President approval.
