Hospice Foundation of America LGBTQ+

LGBTQ+ Elders · Kentucky · Free

Hospice and end-of-life resources with LGBTQ+ inclusive care information. Useful for elders whose biological family is estranged and who need chosen-family-aware support systems. Long-term care ombudsman services exist in every state — ask specifically about LGBTQ+ resident protections. Many LGBTQ+ elders went back into the closet when they entered nursing homes; SAGE-trained facilities are growing but still rare. No cost — the program is grant-funded and confidentiality-protected.
