LGBT Toolkit

In discussions with lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) representatives, Long-Term Care Homes & Services learned that many LGBT seniors did not consistently feel safe in disclosing their sexual identity or orientation to mainstream healthcare providers due to a fear of discrimination. This affected their sense of personal well-being. We set out to remove this barrier within long-term care, working with the community (including LGBT individuals and agencies) to more fully understand the community's needs and to create a care and service culture and model in which all residents’ histories and traditions are honored and preserved.
