2026

This infographic presents the results of a study on the perceptions and practices of practitioners working in long-term housing regarding the intimate lives, sexuality, and gender diversity of residents. Based on 48 participants and 10 focus groups, it highlights the tensions between acknowledging residents’ sexuality and preconceived notions about their asexuality, the barriers to respecting intimacy, and the diverse reactions to individual and partnered sexual expression. It also addresses attitudes toward LGBTQ+ individuals and proposes potential solutions for deconstructing prejudices and promoting support for intimate and sexual needs within the setting of long-term care.
