Hospice Foundation of America LGBTQ+

LGBTQ+ Elders · New York · Free

Hospice and end-of-life resources with LGBTQ+ inclusive care information. Worth contacting for senior housing referrals where you can be out without fear of mistreatment. Many LGBTQ+ senior centers offer programs, meals, and peer companionship — often free with suggested donation. Many LGBTQ+ elders went back into the closet when they entered nursing homes; SAGE-trained facilities are growing but still rare. Open at no cost to LGBTQ+ New York residents and the people supporting them.
