Bringing together research, policy and the voices of LGBTQ+ people
with dementia, this good practice guide highlights the importance
of a person-centred approach. Care and support should recognise and
validate different - and often intersectional - LGBTQ+ identities.
Readers are encouraged to move away from the idea of equality as
treating everyone the same, towards treating everyone as
individuals. The vast changes in the social and legal status of
LGBTQ+ people through recent decades can uniquely affect their
later lives. Dementia services are often under-prepared to meet
their needs, and there can be prejudice and discrimination.
Creating LGBTQ+ inclusive services can be challenging. The book
explains how to deal with these challenges, giving lots of
practical examples. 'Food for thought' sections offer opportunities
for reflection. Becoming more informed about LGBTQ+ lives and
creating services which are LGBTQ+ inclusive will improve the
experiences of LGBTQ+ people living with dementia and encourage the
best possible quality care.
