Take care requires a minimum of affection between the caregiver and the person receiving the care, involves responsibility, effort, time, consistency and authenticity in the interaction that is established. The current thesis includes the dependent person and their caregiver as a center of attention, given the relationship that is established between them, the emotions and affection.
