Background: Aging in place puts ill and frail older persons in a vulnerable situation, and relatives, especially adult children, are expected to assume caring responsibilities. Healthcare professionals, like homecare nurses, play a key role in providing care to older persons needing support to live at home. However, the quality of primary home care has been questioned. Objectives: The aim of this study was to describe older persons living at home and their adult children's lived experiences with caring responsibility assumed by healthcare professionals.
