Over 15 million family caregivers provide more than $200 billion in unpaid care to a person living with dementia (PLWD). Informal caregiving for PLWD by lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) individuals continues to receive limited attention, and current research rarely examines how caregiving for PLWD affects the LGBT community.
