About the Book
The LGBT older adult population represents one of the fastest-growing subpopulations within our aging society. Despite this, there is an absence of training books for care providers. This dual-purpose text is appropriate for training and as a guide to answer questions that may come up during daily tasks. It is based on the most recent research and includes stories and testimonials from LGBT older adults and providers in the field.
