LGBT Older Adults: A Forgotten Population

2010: Between 1.6 and 2.4 million 2030: As many as 7 million LGBT Older Adult Population

Same-sex couples per 1,000 households by county (adjusted)

What makes LGBT older adults unique? Many LGBT older adults live alone and rely on other older adults for support and caregiving. A history of discrimination leaves many LGBT older adults with a general distrust of mainstream institutions.

Health Disparities Legal and Financial Disparities Lack of informal or family care Distrust of professional health and care services

Remember, LGBT older adults may not come out right away, but if you set a tone of respect and acceptance they may feel comfortable coming out later on.

“What is one thing I can start doing differently to better serve LGBT older adults?”
