Abstract

Home care for Ontario’s lesbian, gay, bisexual, trans, queer, and intersex communities (LGBTTQI) was the focus of the LGBTTQI Home Care Access Project. With trends toward community-based care, the topic of home care is timely. Unfortunately, very little is written on home care in general, and specifically with LGBTTQI communities in mind. The LGBTTQI Home Care Access Project (2011-2016) addressed this gap.
