LGBTQ+ Care

Organizations are providing retirement facilities and resources for LGBTQ+ seniors

Trend - In North America and Western Europe, retirement care facilities are created or updated to suit the needs of the growing number of LGBTQ+ seniors. The expertise is either integrated into the homes directly or comes in the form of resource updates and third-party training services for staff and current residents.

Insight - LGBTQ+ seniors are experiencing a lack of resources, support, and even some bias during their stay in continuous care, which affects their comfort levels, forcing some to hide their true identities. As this demographic ages, a need for better-trained retirement facilities and readily available healthcare for LGBTQ+ seniors comes to the forefront. This update is crucial for the maintenance of an inclusive society during the later stages of life for these individuals.
Workshop Question - How could you make your product/service more accessible to LGBTQ+ consumers?
Trend Themes
1. Inclusive Retirement Facilities for LGBTQ+ Seniors - As the number of LGBTQ+ seniors grows, the demand for better-trained retirement facilities and healthcare is increasing.
2. LGBTQ+ Support Programs for Retirement Homes - Initiatives like 'Aging with Pride' bring education and awareness about diversity to the retirement community, creating a database of queer-competent homes to ensure LGBTQ+ seniors' inclusion.
3. Inclusive Healthcare Services for LGBTQ+ Seniors - LGBTQ+ community service organizations such as CAMP Rehoboth stepping in to make healthcare more readily available and provide training workshops to providers about LGBTQ+ history and gender identity.
Industry Implications
1. Senior Living - Senior living industry must develop new specialized facilities that are designed to accommodate the needs of LGBTQ+ older adults.
2. Wellness - Companies in the wellness sector can develop training services for staff on how to provide a more satisfactory experience for LGBTQ+ seniors, as well as provide therapy and mental health resources for this demographic.
3. Healthcare - Healthcare providers should take steps to become more inclusive to the unique needs of the LGBTQ+ seniors and ensure they have access to comprehensive and culturally sensitive healthcare services.
