How Should I Read This Guide?

This guide is presented with at least two audiences in mind... 

1. LGBT seniors, their family, loved ones, ​and fellow activists who are searching for LGBT-friendly senior housing options.

For those searching for LGBT-affirming senior housing options, we’ve ​​presented ​ profiles of ​each ​community that has passed our LGBT-Friendly Senior Housing Metric.

2. Retirement communities, retirement community professionals, and other industry representatives in North Texas who are interested in learning how to improve their practices in LGBT culturally competent care.

For members of the senior care industry, and for those working in and for retirement communities especially, this guide is meant as a practical tool for improving your care for LGBT clients and residents, and to provide an invitation to join our initiative as soon as you are ready.

​How your community can be included in the next North Texas LGBT-Friendly Senior Housing Guide:

Step 1

A staff member at your community will fill out a survey assessing your community’s current practices according to the LGBT-Friendly Senior Housing Metric. 
(Note: Your initial score will not impact your community’s ability to fulfill all aspects of the standard.)

Step 2

A team member from the Coalition for Aging LGBT (CfA LGBT) will schedule a site visit to discuss your survey results, tour the community, and develop a plan to bring your community up to standard. 

Step 3

Your community will work with our team members to schedule staff trainings, LGBT programming events, and work to update policies, procedures, forms, and other forms of marketing and outreach to the LGBT community. This process should take between 1-4 months.

Step 4

Once your community has met at least the minimum standard, your community will pay a small fee, and will be included in the next North Texas LGBT-Friendly Senior Housing Guide.
