My experience has been that advisors are pretty clear in their signals re: staying in touch (and, in some cases, about how often, regarding what sorts of things, etc.). If the signal isn't there, then ask! Many mentors have been doing this for some time and are able to articulate their preferences.
I stay in close touch with two of my former mentors and in occasional touch with two others. They all are amazing people and I feel lucky to continue my relationships with them.
