Diverse Elders Coalition

LGBTQ+ Elders · South Dakota · Free

National advocacy coalition working on behalf of diverse elders including LGBTQ+ older adults. A starting point for adult children of LGBTQ+ parents needing eldercare resources sensitive to their parents' history. Long-term care ombudsman services exist in every state — ask specifically about LGBTQ+ resident protections. LGBTQ+ elders are twice as likely to age alone as their straight peers — community programs counter that isolation. No cost — the program is grant-funded and confidentiality-protected.
