Consensual sex between a non-professional health care worker and a confused elderly patient, is it legal?

((((momsie)))) . What a heartbreaking situation. This health care worker should be reported and dismissed. Do you think she is after money? I read on your profile that your husband says he respects you. I question that, though if he is losing his mental faculties, it may help to explain his behaviour. Do you think he has some dementia, or has this sort of thing happened in the past? Have you spoken to the staff at the facility? Please get some support for yourself. This must be very hurtful. You are experiencing several major losses in your relationship with your husband. I am so sorry. Come back and let us know how you are, (((((((hugs)))))) Joan

I would go further and say Elder Abuse. I would call the authorities.

I hope you have reported her. It is so wrong. First of all he is married. What is she trying to do? Get money. She has to be sick in the head. She needs to be dismissed.

It may be legal in many cases, but it isn't ethical.
