AnnotationAs people get older they may experience difficulties in expressing their sexuality, may have a physical disability, or may have been without a partner for many years. However, we should not assume that because someone is older or in a care home that that person will not have sexual or romantic thoughts, feelings or desires. This guide sets out to provide help to care home staff who face daily dilemmas on how to respond to residents' thoughts, feelings and actions relating to love, sex and intimacy. (RH).
