Compass Care — LGBTQ+ Caregivers

LGBTQ+ Elders · Maryland · Free

Resources for LGBTQ+ caregivers and their loved ones. Useful for elders whose biological family is estranged and who need chosen-family-aware support systems. Caregiver support is built into most LGBTQ+ elder programs — partner-led care is acknowledged and supported. LGBTQ+ elders are twice as likely to age alone as their straight peers — community programs counter that isolation. Free, confidential, and open to anyone in the LGBTQ+ community.
