The experiences detailed in Alisa Grigorovich’s research shed light on the challenges faced by older lesbian and bisexual women in accessing home care services. The findings reveal the impact of social stigma, discrimination, invisibility, and a lack of cultural competence as barriers to receiving necessary care. Additionally, health care reforms and the consequences of rationing public care further compound these challenges.

This study calls for increased awareness and action to address the unique needs of older lesbian and bisexual women, ensuring equitable access to home care services. By recognizing and mitigating these barriers, we can strive for a healthcare system that caters to all individuals, regardless of their sexual orientation or gender identity.
