The perception of family caregivers of people with Alzheimer's disease on the family support for the received care, under the light of the phenomenology of Maurice Merleau-Ponty, it was revealed by responses to semi-structured interviews and by depositions in the focus group meetings with ten of them, members of a Mutual Help Group, carried out from September 2009 to June 2010. The study suggests a new understanding of family support to the care, which opens the possibility of transcendence from the caregiver into another self.
