This chapter presents 5 short vignettes of older LGBT people as the basis for discussing good practice in a UK context. The discussion is grounded in a health determinants perspective, alongside an understanding of minority stress. Inclusive and LGBT sensitive practice are highlighted supported by staff training and appropriate policies. Person-centred assessment and care planning are emphasised and the importance of choice for LGBT elders is emphasised, alongside the need to identify and strengthen social networks as part of working to address social exclusion and isolation. The needs of carers are also acknowledged.
Keywords: LGBT elders, health determinants, minority stress, person-centred care, intersectionality, diversity, carers, social inclusion
