I think it just depends on how your relative feels about being tactile.
My older aunt with dementia was very tactile, which I found odd as she was an unmarried maiden lady (very maiden in fact, never had a boyfriend, stayed home with mum).
One of my fondest memories of her in the CH, was her waving goodbye, and cuddling the lead nurse at the same time. He was one of the biggest Nigerians I have ever seen.
She died on 23rd May last year. God bless her, she did so enjoy her cuddles
