| Annotation | The author aims to formulate recommendations from international and local examples, to aid the design and delivery affirmative housing and care options for older lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) individuals in England. It combines a desk-top review conducted by the author, which includes personal views and recommendations for practice. It does so by discussing the levers within both the Care Act 2014 and the Equality Act 2010 for greater LGBT participation in the design, delivery and evaluation of housing with care services. The provision of LGBT affirmative housing and care options for individuals in England is currently limited. International and European evidence suggests that multi-faceted, person-centred approaches are central in delivering affirmative services to older LGBT individuals. This paper adds to a growing literature on minority housing and care services. The author draws on both a professional and personal interest in facilitating the development of LGBT affirmative services in England. (RH). |
