- Abstract
- This article reports on aged care of lesbians in terms of social marginalization and exclusion. The article discusses the lack of services for older lesbians in Australia and how their identities and needs are not met by governmental and social standards. It is noted that many aged care facilities do not represent sexual minorities and do not include them in their industry advertising. Information is also provided on age and sexual function, residential care, medical care for older people, and language and images related to same-sex relationships.
