Cultural Competency
Cultural competency is the idea that LGBTQ+ older people are as deserving of compassionate eldercare as anyone else. The LGBTQ+ senior population—a large and growing one—has unique needs due to a lifetime of discrimination and harassment. LGBTQ+ elders should not be fearful when seeking health care or long-term care.
