Bobbi and Mike talk with Dr. Tim Johnston, Senior Director of National Projects at SAGE, about the unique challenges that older LGBT adults face. 
Despite increasing advances in gay rights and acceptance, many aging members of the LGBT community struggle to find supportive senior living options.
“LGBT folks are more likely to be supported by groups that we call chosen family so folks that aren't biological or legal relatives.”, says Johnston, “…but creating a care plan that involves LGBT people will often require pulling back from just that nuclear family and really thinking who are the folks who are truly your support network and how can we make sure those people feel empowered to be helping care for you.”
