The Hastings Center report, v 52(6), pp 1-1

Abstract
Care has become a popular topic of conversation in the context of Covid-19. But what will it take for the value of care to be realized when the use of "care " in corporate slogans inspires cynicism or when conflicting appeals to care dilute the concept's meaning? In this brief essay, Hastings Center postdoctoral fellow Mercer Gary suggests that building helpfully on the current interest in care as an ethical value and a form of work requires strengthening the conditions that make care possible. Two projects on which Gary is collaborating at The Hastings Center concern supporting older adults in aging in place, with one demonstrating the necessity of stable housing and the other highlighting how the labor of informal care providers is often assumed, but not provided for, in aging-in-place initiatives.
