The heart of family care is where care is being given: in the family. Increasingly, family members are made responsible for caregiving. This increased care responsibility is a consequence of the changing society. Welfare states are changing into management states. This civil responsibility has important consequences for practice, where patients and family caregivers meet. Often, family caregivers who are providing care are doing fine, they experience joy. But many family caregivers are overburdened. Family care and care responsibility are the main topics of this study.
