Terms of Service

What a Bodyguard is — and is not.

Last updated September 28, 2026 · Healthcare Bodyguard LLC · Clinical services by Bridge Clinical Care PLLC

These terms govern your use of this site and of Healthcare Bodyguard services. By using this site or engaging our services, you accept them.

What the service is

A Healthcare Bodyguard is a licensed healthcare professional who works only for the client — to observe care, ask questions, escalate concerns through existing channels, and produce a plain-language written record of what was observed. The record is for the client.

What the service is not

• Not medical care. A Bodyguard does not diagnose, treat, prescribe, administer medication, write orders, or take over the duties of physicians, nurses, aides, agencies, or facility staff.
• Not an emergency service. A Bodyguard is not 911 and not an on-call emergency response. If this is an emergency, call 911.
• Not a guarantee. We do not promise medical outcomes, particular findings, insurance decisions, or changes to a hospital's, facility's, or agency's care.
• Not the care provider's employee. The Bodyguard works for you — never the hospital, facility, agency, clinic, or insurer.

The written record

The record is a licensed professional's contemporaneous account of what was observed, written for the client in plain language. It is informational. It is not a medical order, a medical opinion offered in place of your clinicians, or legal advice.

The record is prepared for the client and released on request, after office review. A copy fee may apply.

Scheduling, fees, cancellation

Scope, timing, and price are agreed before any service begins. If a scheduled visit needs to change, contact us as early as you can — details are handled in your service agreement.

Responsibility for care

Care is provided by the hospital, facility, agency, physician, or home staff — not by us. The Bodyguard observes, records, and escalates through the channels that exist. Decisions about care remain with the treating clinicians and the client's authorized decision-makers.

This site

Content on this site is general information about our services. It is not medical advice for any specific situation. The request form and email contact do not create a professional relationship until we confirm one with you.

Text messages

If you opt in to texts — by checking the optional, unchecked box next to the phone field on the request form, or by texting us first at (630) 415-0222 — you agree that Healthcare Bodyguard LLC may send service texts about your request: confirmations, your secure intake link, scheduling, and reminders. No marketing messages.

• Frequency — message frequency varies with your request.
• Cost — message and data rates may apply, depending on your carrier.
• Opt out — reply STOP to any text and the texts stop.
• Help — reply HELP, call (630) 415-0222, or write office@healthcarebodyguard.com.
• Not required — consent to texts is never required to get service.

Changes

We may update these terms; the date above shows the current version. Continued use after an update means acceptance of the new terms.
