The LGBTQ+ Inclusive Hospice Readiness Checklist helps patients, families, and care partners find hospices that offer affirming and inclusive end‑of‑life care. It outlines clear signs of LGBTQ+ inclusion, including welcoming first impressions, respectful language and documentation, safety and belonging, family and bereavement support, staff training, and accountability. Developed by SAGECare, the checklist supports informed decision‑making and helps ensure LGBTQ+ people and their care partners feel safe, valued, and affirmed throughout care.
