Compass Care — LGBTQ+ Caregivers

LGBTQ+ Elders · Alaska · Free

Resources for LGBTQ+ caregivers and their loved ones. Relevant for veterans of the AIDS crisis, the Stonewall generation, and elders who lived underground identities most of their lives. Caregiver support is built into most LGBTQ+ elder programs — partner-led care is acknowledged and supported. Estate planning is critical: without wills + medical proxies, hostile family can override partners and chosen family. No cost — the program is grant-funded and confidentiality-protected.
