We have a caregiver from 7:30-1:30. My parents are asleep when she gets there. During the night my mom sometimes leaves a trail of pee on the floor from the bedroom, through the kitchen and into the bathroom. Should the caregiver clean up the floor or leave it there for me to clean when I get home?
If it occurs on her shift, yes it should be cleaned.
We had accidents once in awhile and the caregiver on the shift always cleaned it up without me asking.
A contract for care needs to stipulate what KIND of care.
I will tell you that, at the LEAST, any caregiver needs to insure a dry floor-- basic safety issue, right?
Now, if it is explained to you they are not housekeepers and don't deal with soiled floors, will allow the towels to pile in the corner, that's one thing, but if they are allowing WET FLOORS. No, no and no.
Speak with the responsible parties and get this all straightened out. As you can imagine, a bunch of caregivers from around the country can't help you here. This is to be addressed at the site.

If you or the caregiver need to ask, this is one of those questions, isn't it?
