Abstract
The purpose of this study was to describe the experience of persons who were being cared for while dependent upon technologies for human care. Eight participants who met the inclusion criteria were interviewed. Following van Manen's (1990) hermeneutic phenomenological approach, 4 thematic experiential descriptions were revealed. The lived experience of being cared for is an expression of independence in finding meaning and acceptance, while being mindful of recovery with existing technological use of configured space. Understanding the meaning of being cared for with technologies enhances human caring in community living. Engaging in understanding shared lived experiences of persons being cared for with technologies is expected.
