Set against a backdrop of an increasingly ageing population and a time of growing awareness of the housing with care needs of an older population, we set out to provide a viewpoint reflecting the needs and wants of the marginalised older LGBT community. Little is said of older people’s sexual orientation and even less about those older people that are LGBT.
Mindful of the political debate about personalisation and future care funding, we intend this document to provide a viewpoint that will offer a variety of ways in which the voices and needs of the older LGBT communities can be included in the development and provision of inclusive housing with care.
