I learned and was a little surprised to read that the  elderly still thinks about and are still having sex.  I was also very surprised to read "Lisa Ling states it was told to her that senior even talked about a threesomes".  I mean really a threesome, that unbelievable that seniors would even think such a thing.  I guess you really can't underestimate seniors anymore!  Seniors feel as long as they are not disable, dead or dying, why not if they want that closeness and as long as everything is still working.  There are to many people in the world  and society that wants to give-up and count the elderly out from their inward feeling and that should never happen. 
        I also learned "never" take away what they want to hold on to regardless of what it may be. Society don't realize that just because a person is "Ageing", don't mean you lock them up and throw away the key!
       I also realized the depths of any son or daughter "Love for their Parent" which runs very deep.  If their parent is able to live on their own in their own home which is Ageing in Place so they could be more comfortable where all of their personal items are, then we must let them.  On the other hand when they are unable to live on their own and must rely on others to wash, cook, clean, and watch them daily, we must do and make that decision ourselves just like the reading from Lisa Ling.  This is only when a person has a impairment and they become totally disable with their disability this is when you must step up and care for all their needs.

I wonder "why now" the Census Bureau is just realizing and figuring out that the Baby Boomers are out living our youth?

Hi,
I understand what you're saying about keeping older adults in their homes. I agree if they are able and/or can get some help. Safety is a big issue for many, which is why we tried to keep my husband's mother in her home as long as possible. But then, money runs out. So, we had to make a decision with her input to move to move her to our house. And no, she didn't like it, but we had no choice.
Thanks for your post,
Lisa Harteau
