A study of long-term care through the lens of the Catholic ethical tradition, offering a history of the ethics of caregiving, a snapshot of the contemporary situation in the U.S., biblical perspectives on aging and eldercare, and models for future care.A survey of gerontological ethics and long-term care, offering a history of the ethics of caregiving, an analysis of the present situation "vis a vis" contemporary society and Christian perspectives, and some models for future care that incorporate an ethical "responsibility to care."
