First organization in SWFL to receive this credential

Senior Housing Solutions has recently completed LGBT Cultural Competency Training through SAGECare to be inclusive to all individuals who are seeking senior housing placement advice and to be sensitive to locating care facilities that non-discriminatory and open to all people.

“The training program really opened my eyes to the discrimination people face as LGBT individuals age and require care, states Bruce Rosenblatt, owner of Senior Housing Solutions.  “As an organization, we want people to know we are aware of these concerns and will help people find a senior living facility where they will feel comfortable and welcomed.”

SAGECare (www.sageusa.care) is a division of SAGE the country’s oldest and longest organization dedicated to improving the lives of LGBT older adults. SAGECare provides lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) competency training and consulting on LGBT aging issues to service providers.

Together Senior Housing Solutions and SAGECare will continue our partnership to serve people with the best care possible and help all people age with dignity and respect, with the comfort of knowing they will be celebrated for who they are.
