Is it approrpiate or non appropriate to hug or kiss a patient on the cheek if they welcome it and are comforted by the gesture?

We were often hugged in LTC by patients and families. If they initiate and seek out that physical act of comfort, who is anyone to tell anyone it's inappropriate to embrace them back? Except for one lawyer I know of, but people who never got hugs often don't know how valuable they are.
