Medscape has a pretty interesting article based on recent research published in Gerontologist: Management of Sexual Expression in Long Term Care. We don’t get a lot of articles focused on sexuality in older adults, so it’s nice to see new science on the subject.
From the abstract:
“This study investigates sexual expression management in long-term care settings based on cases requiring intervention from ombudsmen. Although the literature frequently mentions a lack of policies governing sexual expression in these settings, there is little information available on management of situations when they occur. This study addresses these missing elements through the perspective of resident advocates.”
