As in, your family takes care of you. It is not unusual for family members or coworkers to spend a lot of time with hospitalized patients and provide much of the care. Indeed, one of the challenges of getting the nurses to assume more responsibilities is the willingness of relatives to do the work while nurses loaf.
"Relative care" is especially true for women. A young lady was admitted for post operative swelling from an ankle injury. She gave birth to the adorable baby girl shown and brought her along so she could continue to care for her. Her mother-in-law also stayed with her to provide care and chaperoning.

That gives new meaning to the words "wrapped in swaddling cloths."
