Community
Connection That Makes a Difference.
Aging well means having people in your corner.
As we age, meaningful social connections become increasingly important to our health, happiness, and quality of life. Friends, trusted relationships, and a sense of belonging can help us navigate life's changes, share experiences, and build support networks for the years ahead.
Yet too many LGBTQ+ older adults face isolation or lack the connections and support they need.
Triangle Care Management's Embracing Aging Program (EAP) brings people together to build meaningful relationships, strengthen support networks, and create communities where LGBTQ+ older adults can age with dignity, connection, and a sense of belonging
Our First Program:
Lesbians Embracing Aging (LEA)
LEA is an inclusive network of lesbian women in the Coachella Valley who are creating personal care networks and circles of trust among members.
LEA’s Mission
To provide socialization, information, and resources that promote aging well in the residences of our choice.
LEA’s Vision
A Coachella Valley where lesbian women are uplifted and connected, with a path to care as they age.
Through LEA, members have opportunities to connect with one another, share information and resources, and build trusted relationships that can make a meaningful difference as they grow older.
And We're Just Getting Started.
LEA is the first community within TCM's Embracing Aging Program. Additional programs designed to bring LGBTQ+ older adults together are in development.
