Sexuality in old age is a taboo subject - even in caregiving. The authors encourage confronting this shame-laden topic. Caregivers will find suggestions on how to professionally handle sensitive questions: How can the right of older individuals to sexual self-determination be realized in a residential setting? How should caregivers interact with elderly individuals in need of care who seek physical closeness? What triggers the longing for tenderness in older people? By openly and clearly naming perhaps unusual situations in caregiving, they change the perspective without losing sight of legal boundaries. This book thus helps to address the topic of sexuality in old age in institutional settings as well.
