title: Caring for Residents of Eldercare Facilities: A Concept Analysis.
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To report the results of an evolutionary concept analysis of caring in facilities that provide care for elders.
  
  
  METHODS
  Cumulative indices for CINAHL, ERIC, Academic Search Complete, PsychINFO, Medline, and CEPTS.
  
  
  RESULTS
  Caring is an interactive process characterized by seeing, helping, and communicating, which are analogous to two wheels with one axle. Caring is preceded by individuality and followed by well-being.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  The findings explicate the core components of caring in facilities that provide care for elders.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  The metaphor of an axle and wheel can guide caregivers in delivering effective care as the demand for improved well-being of residents of eldercare facilities increases.
