Why is it important?
If equality is important to you and you want all service users to feel loved, accepted and that they belong in aged care settings then this book review will recommend a source that will assist you in building a perspective informed by users who have struggled to feel included and how things could be more suitably organised to achieve an inclusive outcome.
Perspectives
I believe that learning about how people feel is important when providing care to others. If they feel comfortable in their setting then I can be satisfied that the care I am providing is meeting their needs. This book review caters to the needs of sexually diverse people in aged care settings. Well done to the authors and if you haven’t read it yet and you’re an aged care service provider then I recommend that you do.
