Bernie McInally - LGBTQ+ in Care Home Research

Bernie McInally - LGBTQ+ in Care Home Research

Bernie McInally narrates his blog written for Dementia Researcher.

In his guest blog, Bernie McInally, explores the often-overlooked needs of LGBTQ+ residents in care homes. Reflecting on his initial scepticism of the potential recruitment of LGBTQ+ community into studies, Bernie examines the unique challenges this group faces, including potential social isolation, distrust of care staff, and an increased risk of dementia due to health disparities. He highlights the importance of inclusivity in care home research to better understand and address the specific needs of LGBTQ+ residents, aiming for a future where this community receives equal recognition and support in healthcare.
