LGBT National Senior Hotline

LGBTQ+ Elders · Iowa · Free

1-888-234-7243 — free confidential peer support for LGBTQ+ adults age 50+. Relevant for veterans of the AIDS crisis, the Stonewall generation, and elders who lived underground identities most of their lives. Long-term care ombudsman services exist in every state — ask specifically about LGBTQ+ resident protections. LGBTQ+ elders are twice as likely to age alone as their straight peers — community programs counter that isolation. Open at no cost to LGBTQ+ Iowa residents and the people supporting them.
