Dignified and diverse care in old age: inclusion of LGBTIQA+ older people in residences in Tenerife

The LGBTIQA+ older adult community is a particularly vulnerable group in the face of aging and dependency, both due to their age and their sexual orientation, gender identity, or gender expression. Recent studies (Carrascosa et al., 2024; Government of Navarre, 2023) reveal a double structural discrimination, invisibility, and inadequate social and healthcare services that meet their specific needs.
