cared for
Gave attention to
Cared for describes being looked after or tended to.
A nurse cares for patients; a gardener cares for plants.
The children were well cared for.
It can also mean loved or valued: She never felt cared for as a child.
The phrase carries warmth—to be cared for is to be the object of someone's attention and concern.
