About Our Speakers

Improving the livelihood of LGBTQIA+ seniors: How can home care and home health businesses create safe environments for older adults?

^{With concerns about their safety and quality of care, many LGBTQIA+ elders must choose to hide their gender identity and/or sexual orientation to survive in the healthcare system.}

^{This webinar is about understanding what makes older LGBTQIA+ seniors feel the way they feel and how we can help serve them.}

We’re also excited to announce our partnership with SAGECare! SAGECare is an organization dedicated to improving the lives of LGBTQIA+ older adults by providing LGBTQIA+ competency training to service providers. This partnership allows us to provide agencies like yours with content for administrators and caregivers with knowledge surrounding the LGBTQIA+ community.

You will take away how your agency and caregivers alike can provide more equitable environments for our LGBTQIA+ populations.
