The LGBTQ+ Inclusive Home Care Readiness Checklist is a practical, client-centered resource designed to help LGBTQ+ older adults, prospective clients, and their loved ones evaluate whether a home care agency is truly welcoming, inclusive, and culturally competent. The checklist walks users through key indicators of affirming care, such as nondiscrimination policies, respectful language and pronoun use, caregiver training, safety and belonging, recognition of chosen family, and accountability processes, empowering individuals to make informed decisions about home care services that prioritize dignity, respect, and belonging.
