LGBTQ + older adults have a high likelihood of accessing nursing home care. This is due to several factors: limitations performing activities of daily living and instrumental activities of daily living, restricted support networks, social isolation, delay seeking assistance, limited economic resources, and dementia. Nursing home residents fear going in the closet, which can have adverse health effects. Cultivating an inclusive nursing home culture, including administration, staff, and residents, can help older LGBTQ + adults adjust and thrive in long-term care.
LGBTQ+ 老年人极有可能入住养老院。这是由于以下几个因素：日常生活活动和工具性日常生活活动受限、支持网络受限、社会孤立、寻求帮助的延迟、有限的经济资源和痴呆症。养老院的居民害怕“出柜”，这可能会对他们的健康产生不利影响。营造一个包容的养老院文化，包括管理人员、员工和居民，可以帮助老年 LGBTQ+ 成年人在长期护理中适应和茁壮成长。
