Some clients in the caregiving universe are much more independent than others. Remember, you don't have to be cross-eyed and have Cerebral Palsy to be considered disabled. There are several things out there that can label you as disabled.
Because of the independence of some clients, sometimes caregivers have to put timelimits on their clients outings. these outings can be with friends, or can be by themselves. With the agency that I am with right now the time limit for my specific client is two hours. If they are not home in two hours we have to write an incident report. if they are not home by 8PM we have to call the local authorities.
With every client it is different. What I say is not law, make sure to direct all your questions that you have about your individual client to your supervisor or someone who is in charge.
Every client is different, don't take someone elses idea and apply it to your specific client without discussing it with your supervisor.
