Abstract
Sexuality and sexual behaviors in people with dementia living in long-term care facilities can pose major challenges to those charged with their care. Although there are several published studies on staff attitudes toward sexual expression and behaviors in residents, there has been little published on types and circumstances of these behaviors. The purpose of the study was to: 1) to understand what types of behaviors in a residential dementia care facility were labeled as “sexually inappropriate”; 2) to discern any identifiable patterns among behavior types; and 3) to determine whether behavior types corresponded to dementia diagnosis or other resident characteristics.
