PublisherAmerican Society on Aging, Spring 1999
Pagespp 36-43
AnnotationIn this paper, the authors address what is known about sexual expression as a form of physical and emotional intimacy among residents of nursing homes. If humane care is the goal, health professionals and long-term care institutions must begin to acknowledge the normalness, indeed the essential nature, of the human need for intimacy. (KJ).
