Diverse Elders Coalition

LGBTQ+ Elders · Wisconsin · Free

National advocacy coalition working on behalf of diverse elders including LGBTQ+ older adults. Worth contacting for senior housing referrals where you can be out without fear of mistreatment. Caregiver support is built into most LGBTQ+ elder programs — partner-led care is acknowledged and supported. Many LGBTQ+ elders went back into the closet when they entered nursing homes; SAGE-trained facilities are growing but still rare. Free service; donations support but never gate access.
