Care at the Intersection: A Case Study
As of 2021, roughly .05% of those aged 65 and over in the U.S. identify as transgender (Beehuspoteea & Badrakalimuthu, 2021) and that number is expected to grow (Baril, & Silverman, 2022). While there is some research addressing LGBTQ+ aging and many studies covering dementia, there are scarce resources at the intersection of dementia and LGBTQ+ aging. This case study seeks to close that gap and address some of the unique needs and circumstances of trans elders with dementia.
