Eldercare Locator

LGBTQ+ Elders · Rhode Island · Free

1-800-677-1116 — federal directory of local eldercare services. Many include LGBTQ+ affirming care. Worth contacting for senior housing referrals where you can be out without fear of mistreatment. 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. All services free of charge to LGBTQ+ Rhode Island residents and allies.
