title: Residents' concerns about homophobia in care homes.
abstract: The study explored the experiences of 21 gay men and women who cared for someone with dementia. Their experiences influenced the way they thought about their own old age if they too should develop dementia. They were concerned about living in a residential care home. Comments included: 'There's such a big issue about homophobia from other residents' and 'I spent years fighting to get out of the closet - I'm not going back in'.
