The article is based on in-depth interviews with people who live together with elderly sick relatives and take care of them on a daily basis. The article considers the prerequisites and conditions for starting a cohabitation; practical, emotional and material changes in the home after moving, as well as external borders and internal conflicts that characterize the life of a “caring home”, the main function of which is the care of all the household members for an elderly relative.
