Old people's homes 'must keep loving feeling alive'
By Nicole Martin
RESIDENTIAL homes for the elderly should have areas set aside for intimate encounters and private moments, according to a book published today.
Creating private places for married residents, such as a dining room for candle-lit dinners, or adopting a "door-shut, no entry" policy, would enable long-term relationships to flourish, said Julia Burton-Jones. She claimed that people with husbands or wives in residential homes should be allowed to spend time with them, away from noisy communal areas.
In her book, Involving Relatives and Friends, she wrote: "One in 10 people in homes are still married, often in marriages which have lasted 50 years or more. Their privacy and desire for intimate expression of affection and sexuality needs to be protected."
Mrs Burton-Jones, of the Relatives and Residents Association, a charity set up for people with relatives in residential homes, said staff needed to do more to lift the taboo surrounding sex between elderly couples.
Andy Allsopp, of the charity Age Concern, agreed that moving into a residential home did not necessarily signal the end of a sexual relationship. He said: "Age does not diminish the need for a loving and sexual relationship. When couples reach a certain age this should not mean that the nature of their relationship should change."
