The Best LGBT Senior Care
​
The particular needs of lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender seniors reflect the historical social context of their lives. As such, LGBTQ seniors often have unique needs and health disparities that require extra attention and care.
As the only LGBT-certified home care agency in California, Alegre Home Care understands these needs well. Our home care agency is in a unique position to provide the best quality LGBT senior care. We actively advocates for the LGBTQ community and are members of the Golden Gate Business Association — the world’s first LGBTQ chamber of commerce.
​
Alegre Home Care is a proud sponsor of
Openhouse enables San Francisco Bay Area LGBTQ seniors to overcome the unique challenges they face as they age by providing housing, direct services and community programs.
LGBT Senior Care Services
​
In-home caregivers help with a number of tasks. These include general tasks such as housekeeping and personal hygiene, and also extend beyond to include the specific needs of each individual. Alegre caregivers provide the best LGBT senior care by undergoing specialized training and ensuring privacy, confidentiality, and consent every step of the way.
The benefits of LGBT senior care services include:
Specially Trained Caregivers
In addition to receiving regular home caregiving training such as First Aid and CPR, caregivers at Alegre Home Care also receive LGBT Cultural Humility Training.
Health Advocacy
Home caregivers can help support LGBTQ seniors by advocating for their rights during medical exams and procedures.
Social Connection
LGBTQ seniors on average experience more loneliness than their peers. Home caregivers help by facilitating outings, gatherings with friends, and community functions, as well as helping the seniors in their care connect to the people in their social circles.
Understanding and Empathy
Compassion and empathy are two cornerstones of caregiving, but caregivers from an LGBT-certified home care agency have an extra layer of understanding about the particular concerns facing LGBT seniors, such as discrimination.
​
Confidentiality
LGBT seniors will receive special confidentiality procedures that go above the normal privacy expectations of HIPAA (Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996).
Alegre Home Care is an agency that truly understands in-home care services. An LGBT-certified business, we have all the qualifications to serve the LGBT population with integrity and compassion.
LGBT Senior Care Training
​
LGBT senior care from Alegre Home Care is provided by a patient and compassionate caregiving staff. As one of the few agencies that provides specialized non-discrimination training, Alegre Home Care is committed to providing high quality care while supporting local LGBT communities.
All of our caregivers undergo thorough background checks and reference screening. They also receive continual training and education so that they may provide quality support with daily activities and personal needs in the comfort and privacy of your own home.
