My father sounds like a naughty child when he makes excuses for his sexual advances to caregivers.

My 84 year old father just got arrested for grabbing a lady. He also has had mini strokes. And has never done anything like this in his life. Your story is so reassuring to know we're not alone. Thank you so much for posting this! My dad just did this a couple of days ago and is now being prosecuted and has a court case and spent a night in jail. It's the most humiliating thing I've ever been through! Good luck to you, and pray I'll quit crying.

Don't assume health care professionals know how to deal with sexual advances from their patients. I wish I had this website when I was caring for my Dad. During family debriefings, I left feeling I had to do something about Dad's behavior. We had him go to therapy, but this made him worse. He even said to me the doctor was embarrassing him and thought he was doing inappropriate things. He became very agitated. We discontinued therapy. It was resolved by moving him to a locked facility, after he fell trying to escape from an unlocked door with construction materials by the door. The new nursing home had a more knowledgeable philosophy. This "haunts' me to this day, as Daddy was a very moral, kind and devoted husband. I was embarrassed. I couldn't separate the disease from the Daddy. This site and others are helping me revisit these memories with knowledge and forgiveness.
