Does Kay’s family know that their mother is being abused by this facility? She is not of sound mind. If there is sexual contact, it’s Rape.
And who would the rapist be, Kay or the male figure here?
If both are suffereing from the same ailment, I don’t see why Kay would be the innocent one. Do you?
I believe the toughest choice Sandra and the family of Kay had to make, was institutionalizing their family member. I would suspect both families are happy their loved ones have found a comfort that replaces the fatalistic nightmare each faced alone. And yes, when you’re institutionalized in those places for a majority of the time you’re just that, very very alone, isolated and cut off from all that came before.
By whom? When two senile Alzheimer's patients start a romance, who is the "rapist?"
Good grief.
Abuse? Rape?
It sounds like he is holding on to the best part of humanity that he remembers - love.
He is an old man who just wants someone to hold his hand.

If two people with Alzheimer’s have sex why would it automatically be rape.
And why would it be the man that is charged?
Abused? The article said the two senile old people sit next to each other and hold hands. Or do you know something we don’t know?
In my father’s dotage -— in the two years before he died —— he called all the CNA’s “Doll” and kissed their hands. I was grateful that they accepted his gestures in good humor. Even people who are losing their mental capacities need affection and love: God bless them all.
No, it's not. Neither of them is of sound mind.
