As the world becomes more inclusive on a global scale, old establishments are re-branded for diversity, while new ones emerge to suit particular minority groups—this retirement home for LGBTQ seniors is a great example.
Located in Palm Springs, 'Living Out' presents a community that seeks to "provide a beautiful, welcoming, safe, and inclusive living experience." The retirement home boasts a sizable and elegant design, with "resort-like amenities." This includes enhancements such as spectacular views, a private salon, swimming pools, a massage studio, pickleball courts, a fitness center, and more. In addition, LGBTQ seniors can enjoy concierge services and various entertainment experiences that extend to luxurious dining and even a private theater.
This is an innovative approach to retirement, as there are not many places who are as accommodating to LGBTQ seniors.
