Care and care settings at home always raise the question of the right distance in their relationships. Implicitly, as the philosopher Paul Ricoeur suggests, the question of the right distance is the core of significance and the pollinator place of all ethos of care [1]. I propose to consider three closely interrelated senses for the right distance, each saying in his own way what is the right act of care. The following dimensions shall be presented in turn: (I) recognition of a person’s humanity, (ii) credit or confidence in the heart of the relationship, and (iii) justice, that any institution seeks to acquire social, political and moral legitimacy. Occasionally, we will discuss the practical configurations that these senses of the right distance can take in the face of the affirmation of a standardised intervention system, the focus of which is on tools to assess the quality of assistance, contractual relations and management policies. It is then that we will have to focus on something that this device does not perceive well and which neglects by reducing, in particular, the size of the dwelling [2]. However, this dimension of the dwelling is at the heart of any problem related to home care.
