Supporting Sexual Health and Intimacy in Care Facilities: Guidelines for Supporting Adults Living in Long-Term Care Facilities and Group Homes in British Columbia These guidelines should be used by administrative staff and professional care providers to develop facility-appropriate policies, procedures, training materials, etc., related to sexual health and intimacy. This document is only a guide, and it is up to each care facility to decide how to address the various risks identified. The guidelines do not represent policies or procedures that are in place at any specific care facility, and are not mandatory guidelines that have been adopted by Vancouver Coastal Health Authority.
