AnnotationThere have been few studies on lesbian, gay male, bisexual and transgendered older people, and virtually no research has examined how this population's culture affects its experience with elder abuse. Based on the author's knowledge of this community and discussions with social workers and domestic violence specialists who serve it, these clients are likely to be more resistant than other clients to accepting services. Greater awareness of the existence and circumstances of this population should help protective services staff in building rapport with these clients and in getting them the services and assistance that they need.
