Module 2 of this series on sexuality and aging explores how memory and perception can influence the behavior of older adults and those with dementia. The video describes how older people may mistake their caregiver for a spouse, or see their caregiver as a “new love,” both resulting in inappropriate behavior. Caregivers get support for their situations and reassurance that such behavior is normal and expected.
