However, we try to understand how home care presents several moral and ethical issues related to the actors involved: the patient, the caregiver, the family and the multidisciplinary team. The work resorts to Bioethics of Intervention and Bioethics of Protection, two Bioethics strands developed after Principlism was proved insufficient in a context of large of social inequalities, which is the case of Brazil. From this perspective, it is possible to give a voice to the excluded, oppressed and vulnerable. It is in this sense that bioethics must resort to human rights, as a way to protect the right to health of the neediest. Thus, it is sought to demonstrate that Home Care is a sector that has vulnerable subjects (patient, caregiver, family), to which the public protection policies should be directed
