Webinar: Cultivating an LGBTQ+ Friendly Community

• Advocacy in Long-Term Care
• Heathy Aging
• VOYCE Webinars

The National Gay and Lesbian Task Force has outlined that the number of LGBTQ+ older adults in the U.S. is expected to double in size, becoming six million strong by 2030. Questions about the availability of inclusive housing for older LGBTQ+ people are rising. The Long-Term Care Equality Index (LEI) can help providers answer these questions for their consumers, ensuring foundational policies, services and supports, staff benefits and policies, and community engagement to accept and affirm the LGBTQ+ community. In this session, Sherrill Wayland (she/they) discusses barriers that LGBTQ+ elders face when seeking housing or long-term care services, the LEI, and actionable steps you can take to make your community more inclusive to LGBTQ+ older adults.
