Abstract
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.
