Hi,

The point is that the two are different. ‘Care for’ is usually ‘to look after’ and ‘care about’ usually means ‘to be interested in’.

Hi Alan, thanks for clarification.
I’d like to use it in sentence like this: “We care for patients with our brand new service XYZ.” So maybe ‘care for’ is better in this case, isn’t? thanks again.
