A Guide to LGBT Caregiving - Russian Edition
 December 2011 | Next Step in Care, United Hospital Fund and SAGE
"Having experienced rejection and disrespect in health care settings, many older LGBT individuals avoid seeing a health care provider until a serious problem arises."
This guide, written in Russian, examines the issues that arise in LGBT caregiving, as LGBT individuals may encounter special challenges whether they are acting as caregivers or are the ones in need of care. It also provides a legal document checklist that overviews the function of various important health care documents, such as a health care proxy, living will, and financial power of attorney. Finally, it discusses the transition and associated challenges from hospital care to nursing home or in-home health care. |
