Lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) people often face unique challenges as they grow older. The aim of this book is to help those who provide care and support to older LGBT people to understand their needs, wishes and experiences. It demonstrates how biographical approaches can increase understanding about the distinct perspectives of older LGBT people, enhancing inclusive care and support. The book is separated into 3 parts: growing older - diverse pathways into later life; implications for health and social care practice; and community engagement and support. The chapters explore people's expectations and fears surrounding care and service provision, the impact of discrimination, and specific issues such as HIV, dementia and end-of-life care. The importance of understanding people's whole lives in order to meet their needs is demonstrated, drawing on the examples of community projects that provide services and build networks. The voices of older LGBT people are heard throughout the book through the use of case examples and original research. As well as being of interest to practitioners working with older LGBT people, the book is also likely to be of interest to students and researchers in the health and social work fields.
