With the rising rates of LGBT Baby Boomers, groups like South Florida's SunServe have begun to offer LGBT-specific senior gay care, providing social outlets for seniors to get the care they need without having to go back into the closet.

"A large LGBTQ population has chosen the greater Fort Lauderdale area to live in and retire to. We felt our seniors should not go back into the closet as they aged and needed day care services," SunServe Executive Director Mark Ketcham told EDGE. "We created a center that is warm and welcoming to all people. It is aimed toward the LGBTQ population but we have and will continue to accept all people for day care services."
