LA26PDW22: Improving Care for LGBTQ+ Older Adults. LGBTQ+ older adults face unique health and social disparities. In comparison with their straight and cisgender peers, they are more likely to live alone and feel socially isolated, to lack a caregiver, to live in poverty, and to experience discrimination and mistreatment in healthcare settings. This presentation will help familiarize social workers about these and other issues facing LGBTQ+ older adults, and will empower them to be effective and culturally-informed advocates for this vulnerable population.
