NOTE: This course meets the requirement for cultural competency/ LGBTQ+ sensitivity training.
In today’s evolving healthcare and long-term care environments, understanding aging adults’ diverse identities and experiences is essential for providing person-centered, compassionate care. Among the most underserved and often misunderstood populations are older adults who identify as lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, or queer (LGBTQ+).
This course explores cultural competency and sensitivity as it applies to this population, focusing on the unique challenges faced by LGBTQ+ elders, best practices for inclusive care, and how RCFE (Residential Care Facilities for the Elderly) and ARF (Adult Residential Facilities) administrators and staff can promote dignity, equity, and quality of life.
