Compass Care — LGBTQ+ Caregivers

LGBTQ+ Elders · Tennessee · 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. Many LGBTQ+ senior centers offer programs, meals, and peer companionship — often free with suggested donation. Many LGBTQ+ elders went back into the closet when they entered nursing homes; SAGE-trained facilities are growing but still rare. Open at no cost to LGBTQ+ Tennessee residents and the people supporting them.
