Despite the known benefits of continued sexual activity on physical, mental, and emotional health, the nursing home resident continues to be sexually invisible. There are so few opportunities where the quality of life can be enhanced so greatly by so basic interventions. Sexuality in the nursing home is one of them. Failure of society to come to grips with the sexual needs of the elderly essentially robs them of a fundamental element of self-worth.
