Soulful Hands Home Care Expands Services for LGBTQ+ Seniors with Identity Affirming In-Home Care

CHICAGO - June 3, 2025 - PRLog -- Soulful Hands Home Care, a trusted and Black woman owned non-medical home care agency based in Chicago, proudly announces the expansion of its services to affirm and uplift LGBTQ+ seniors and the loved ones they call family, biological or chosen throughout Chicago and surrounding areas.

After three years of delivering compassionate, high-quality care to aging adults and people with disabilities, the agency is taking a bold and meaningful step to ensure LGBTQ+ seniors feel safe, seen, and respected in their own homes.

"Everyone deserves to feel safe, respected, and honored as they age without having to hide who they are," says founder Marie Brown. "Too often, LGBTQ+ elders are overlooked or expected to erase their identity to receive care. At Soulful Hands, we're committed to changing that through training, hiring practices, and true allyship."

This expansion makes Soulful Hands Home Care one of the few agencies in the Chicago area to publicly provide LGBTQ+ affirming, culturally competent in-home care. The initiative includes:

• Cultural competency training for all caregivers to support LGBTQ+ clients with dignity and respect
• Inclusive care planning that reflects each client's identity, lived experience, and chosen family
• Relationship-building with local LGBTQ+ organizations to foster trust and collaboration
• Proactive hiring and outreach within the LGBTQ+ community to ensure representative, affirming care

While leading this inclusive care initiative, Soulful Hands remains deeply committed to serving all seniors across Chicago and surrounding communities. The agency offers flexible, personalized care plans that honor each client's lifestyle, values, and needs.
