LOS ANGELES, April 7, 2010 – The Senior Care Podcast by LivHOME has released Episode 19 — Sex After 60.
In this episode, Mary Beth Hardy, LivHOME’s Midwest Regional Director, discusses issues related to sexual activity among older adults, such as:
• the high incidence of sexually transmitted disease among this age group,
• how lack of privacy and mobility impact sexually active older adults, and
• ways adult children and caregivers can become advocates for sexually active seniors.
“Sex is a vital part of who were are — both in youth and beyond. By keeping communication open, making accommodations in the physical environment, and understanding each individual’s desires, we can promote health and quality of life for seniors as sexual beings,” says Hardy.
The episode can be found at the podcast’s homepage, www.livhome.com/podcast. Listeners can subscribe via RSS feed, email or through the iTunes store. Episode 19 — Sex After 60 has a runtime of 13 minutes, 35 seconds.
