Michele Grigaitis-Reyes, a nurse practitioner from Banner Alzheimer’s Institute, shares with us her passion for addressing a commonly avoided topic of intimacy and sexual needs for people affected by dementia. She helps us define these topics and untangles the misconceptions and frustrating feelings around the inability to communicate needs around intimacy and sex with partners or caregivers. She helps us breach a difficult topic that isn’t always discussed when necessary or brushed off by those we may confide in for assistance. Listen in for her practical suggestions for creating moments of intimacy and how what some may deem as inappropriate sexual behavior, may just be an effort to communicate a different need by someone without the ability to do so.
