How Hillside Terrace Fosters a Safe and Inclusive Community

Do you have concerns about finding a senior living community with the right environment for your loved one?

At our senior living home, we cherish and celebrate the diversity of our residents, fostering a safe and inclusive community where LGBTQ elders can thrive with pride and dignity. 

Aging is a natural and beautiful part of life, a journey marked by wisdom, experiences, and resilience. For LGBTQ elders, this journey can come with unique challenges stemming from a lifetime of navigating social stigmas, discrimination, and invisibility. According to studies, LGBTQ older adults are more likely to live alone, face financial insecurities, and lack family support. 

With all these challenges in mind, we’re committed to creating an environment where every resident feels values, respected, and embraced for who they are. 

How Hillside Terrace Fosters a Safe and Inclusive Community 

Cultivating Respect and Acceptance: We believe that creating a culture of respect begins with education and training for our staff. We train our staff to care for everyone who lives at our retirement community. It’s important to understand how LGBTQ elders feel the way they feel and how we can make sure they’re comfortable. 

Supportive Services: LQBTQ elders may have specific needs related to healthcare, mental health, or social support. We offer access to a team of professionals to help our residents find comfort and help with personalized care and treatment. 

Safe Spaces: Our residents have access to hobbies and activities to help combat feelings of loneliness and boredom. These safe spaces encourage supportive relationships where they can gather, socialize, and express themselves without fear of judgement or discrimination.

The Importance of Pride in Aging

Are you anxious about finding a senior living center that’s LGBTQ friendly?

In your golden years, you deserve to bask in the warmth of acceptance, support, and pride in who you are. Yet, for LGBTQ elders, navigating aging can come with unique challenges, from a lifetime of societal stigma to concerns about finding safe and affirming communities. 

Senior living homes play a crucial role in fostering such environments, ensuring that all residents feel valued, supported, and celebrated for who they are. 

The Importance of Pride in Aging

Pride in aging is about embracing one’s identity, experiences, and wisdom gained over a lifetime. For LGBTQ elders, this pride can be overshadowed by a history of discrimination, stigma, and invisibility. 

Many seniors grew up during a time when being open about their identity could result in social rejection, legal repercussions, or even violence. As a result, they may carry deep-seated fears of discrimination or prejudice, even in settings designated for older adults. Creating a culture of pride in aging means recognizing and addressing historical injustices and celebrating the resilience and strength of LGBTQ elders.
