Find the Right LGBTQ Friendly Senior Housing in Plymouth

Are you looking for a senior housing in Plymouth or the surrounding areas?

Are you worried about finding the right LGBTQ friendly senior living home for you or a loved one?

Are you worried about not feeling welcome?

According to SeniorLiving.org, “The National Gay and Lesbian Task Force estimates that there are over 3 million LGBT (lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender) elders in the U.S. with that number doubling by 2030. The senior LGBT community faces a variety of challenges, such as Social Security benefits, hospital visitation, and social isolation even within the LGBT community.

Some other challenges LGBTQ elders face include:

• “Government social programs such as Social Security and Medicaid do not recognize or support LGBT families.
• Social Security does not pay survivor benefits to same-sex partners.
• Unlike married heterosexual spouses, unmarried partners in lifelong relationships cannot receive Social Security benefits.
• Medicaid does not protect same-sex partners' assets and homes when a spouse enters a long-term care facility.
• Many same-sex partners are denied visitation rights in hospitals and long-term care facilities.
• In some senior living communities, LGBT people are openly discriminated against and/or ostracized.”
