Why the LEI?
November 2019 | SAGE and HRC Foundation
“SAGE and HRCF believe that most long-term
care communities do not want LGBT older adults to
face discrimination or have to worry about the care that
they will receive. But these communities may be unsure
how to protect their LGBT residents from discrimination,
provide them with optimal care and extend a warm
welcome to allay their concerns.”
The Long-term Care Equality Index (LEI) is a new program of SAGE and the HRC Foundation designed to recognize leaders providing LGBT inclusive and welcoming long-term care residential care. This fact sheet provides an overview of the program and how you can get involved. Learn more at www.theLEI.org
