| Annotation | The needs of gay and lesbian people are gradually being recognised within dementia care, but the journey to understanding has been slow. The author's research interest in and conducting training on sexuality and dementia led her to notice the absence of information and training materials on lesbians and gays in care settings. This article uses the case study of a woman and the discrimination experienced, and how this has affected the author's own learning over time. Attention is also drawn to the Age Concern England (ACE resource pack, "The whole of me", the aim of which is to prevent lesbians and gays from becoming invisible in care settings. (RH). |
