Photograph the property condition before move in and attach those images to the agreement so existing wear is documented. Verify that the host carries property insurance that covers guest injury from structural faults and ask for the policy type and local claims contact. For personal protection secure travel insurance that explicitly covers medical treatment in Bali medical evacuation and loss or damage to mobility aids such as wheelchairs and oxygen equipment. Check policy language on pre existing conditions coverage and whether caregiver or home assistance expenses are included for extended stays. When hiring caregivers insist on a simple written service contract that sets out duties hours rates and responsibility for workplace injuries and theft.
