While a large body of research has documented people’s experiences of care in later life, very little of this work has explored the complex networks and entanglements of care people experience in old age. This study explores ecologies and entanglements of care through a cultural probe send to 18 older adults across Scotland. Encouraging reflections on daily life, we highlight revelations about care expectations, preparedness, and meaningful design possibilities within caringscapes.
