Aging: Dementia and Sexuality. In this unit we have looked at dementia as well as sexuality related to aging. This assignment will provide you with the opportunity to further develop your understanding of these two areas related to working with older adults by identifying issues two older adults are struggling with related to these issues and also identifying ways you, as a human service professional, can help them to better cope with these issues. For this Assignment, you will review the two Unit 6 Case Studies and write a 3–4-page exploratory paper to describe the cognitive and behavioral changes of dementia and investigate sexuality related to aging.
