My father has been living in his AL MC facility for around three years now. I only recently took over the role as a primary advocate. My mother passed away earlier this year. So earlier last week I saw my dad flirting and kissing multiple female residents. I spoke with the staff and they told me that is how my dad has been and they don't get complaints so it is all good. Idk this does not sit right with me, should I try to address it. My father is young and old he is 68. I know my dad has always been a ladies man. He cheated on my mom a few times so this behavior is not exactly out of pocket for him. The staff seem to be aware and okay with it. So I guess it is okay no?
Assuming he is not masturbating or grabbing women in public, he isn’t a sex pest.
Had he been aggressive physically/sexually or if I felt he was taking advantage of my moms mental state, I would have intervened, but that never happened.
I guess the appropriate response needs to be on a case by case basis. Even if your mom were still alive, your dad may be so far into his dementia that he may not remember he is married and has a wife. It is just part of the disease...he doesn't know what he is doing and it sounds like the facility isn't too concerned so it must be pretty platonic at this point.
