A recent Court of Protection judgment considered the case of a 79 year old woman with alcohol related amnesia causing severe short term memory impairment. She was living in a care home and her partner of the last 20 years was visiting and they were having sexual relations. Concern about her mental capacity in relation to sexual relations and other decisions led to an application to the Court. For care homes and those working with people with dementia this is a challenging issue and the case provides help information and guidance.
