title: [The sexuality of the elderly in care institutions].
abstract: While evolutions in society influence hospitals, the place of sexuality in such institutions remains marginal. The subject is taboo even within families and especially if the patient is elderly. However, the expression of this natural need often occurs in day-to-day care activities meaning the inclusion of sexuality in the elderly person's care and life project should be discussed within the team. A sharing of experience.
