AnnotationThe literature on sexual need in older people is explored; and this article also looks at barriers preventing expression of these needs in the residential care setting. Barriers include staff attitudes, residents' physical health, and the environment. Laura Meader (née Mulcock) includes clinical examples to illustrate this, and discusses approaches to supporting care home staff in addressing this often difficult issue. (RH).
