NEWS & NOTES
Our monthly newsletter to keep you informed.

November is National Family Caregiver Awareness month. We created the LGBT Caregiver Fact Sheet to provide LGBT caregivers tips and resources to use as they provide care and support to loved ones. The National Resource Center also worked with the National Institute on Aging to promote materials they produced in support of caregivers. You can check out these materials and more here.


The month of November also marks National Transgender Aware ness month.  Did you know the Williams Institute at UCLA estimates there are 1.4 million adults in the U.S. who  identify as transgender? Learn more about how your organization can support Transgender older adults through the resources available here including the fact sheet on Medicare Changes for Transgender Older Adults.
