There were 168 participants (85% female), aged 51-71 years. Descriptive statistics were generated from quantitative data. Qualitative data were analysed using word frequency, keywords-in-context and thematic analysis.

This paper highlights partnered baby boomers’ attitudes to maintaining sexual and intimate relationships in residential care.
