Question 6
Sexual Orientation
Question 6 concerns the resident’s sexual orientation. To provide comprehensive support for the resident, it is essential to avoid making assumptions about their current sexual orientation based on their past relationships. This can help the care team to have an accurate understanding of the resident’s current relationships and expectations. It may also prompt discussions within the family if the resident discloses a different sexual orientation from what they have previously indicated.
6A: How do you identify your sexual orientation?
6B: How important is it to you for us to acknowledge your sexual orientation?
6C: Would you like to add or tell me anything else about this before we move onto the next question?
