Aging With Pride

LGBTQ+ Elders · West Virginia · Free

Federal initiative supporting LGBTQ+ older adult research and programs. Relevant for veterans of the AIDS crisis, the Stonewall generation, and elders who lived underground identities most of their lives. Long-term care ombudsman services exist in every state — ask specifically about LGBTQ+ resident protections. LGBTQ+-affirming long-term care has measurable quality differences — SAGE Cares certification is a real signal. No cost — the program is grant-funded and confidentiality-protected.
