LGBTQAI+ Panel Discussion: Offering Culturally Sensitive Care

Thursday, April 3, 2025

12:00 PM - 1:00 PM EDT

24/7 Helpline: (800) 272-3900

This session will feature a panel discussion of LGBTQIA+ caregivers providing valuable insights to professionals on how to offer LGBTQIA+ culturally sensitive care to this unique population. The LGBTQIA+ community faces unique challenges related to Alzheimer's and dementia. These include finding inclusive and welcoming healthcare providers, having less ability to rely on adult children for assistance, concerns about stigma, and higher rates of poverty and social isolation. LGBTQIA+ individuals who are spouses, partners, or family members caring for someone with Alzheimer's may also struggle to find culturally sensitive care, support networks, and other resources. Important considerations include planning for the future, legal matters, end-of-life care, and accessing quality healthcare. Featuring Lisa Krinsky of the Fenway Institute at Fenway Health in Boston.
