Abstract:
Isolation, financial insecurity, incomplete advance care planning, and lack of safe/affordable/inclusive long-term care are challenges magnified in gender and sexual minorities. LGBTQIA+ older adults are disproportionately more likely to live alone and experience financial poverty and social isolation. LGBTQIA+ adults suffering from cognitive impairment are an especially defenseless population due to their lack of social connection and potential lack of financial resources and advance care planning.
