It’s likely you didn’t enter the healthcare field so that you could be groped and sexually propositioned all the time – you entered it to help others, right?! So why are sexual behaviors so common in dementia care? This session outlines the reasons for these behaviors and provides lots of suggestions for responding – calmly and respectfully – when these behaviors occur.

Objectives:

• Review how the brain changes of dementia impact a person’s sexual behaviors
• Detail suggestions for ways to respond to the sexual behaviors in dementia care
• Identify care issues specific to the LGBTQ+ community that are important to know in long-term care
• Provide an overview of the concept of “consent”
