The baluchonneuses (homecarers) provide services consisting in sharing the daily lives of people with dementia-type Alzheimer’s, for periods of 4 to 14 days, to replace their family caregivers. The paper presents results from a study aimed at understanding their work by building on a moral responsibility theoretical perspective. Data was gathered from 20 baluchonneuses through phone and face-to-face interviews, as well as a focus-group. Results show that in many respects—namely, their choice to become a baluchonneuse; the implementing of their responsibilities; their response to the call for responsibility; the singularizing of responsibility; their changing relationship to the cared-for person; their evolving relationship to the caregiver; their involvement in the caregiver-care receiver relationship; and the managing of medication and healthcare—the baluchonneuses assume a moral responsibility that differs, yet is also very similar to that of a family caregiver.
