How can I remain independent even as I grow older? Through our many years of experience, we understand the questions and problems many older LGBTI people often face. We want to help you enjoy your life, letting you grow older with confidence and independence.

We offer friendly get-together groups where you can just drop in, chat with other people and share experiences. “Alternative Ageing” is a feel-good group simply there to give you support.

The network “Alternative Ageing” organises additional activities for older gay and bisexual people, such as theatre workshops, choirs, yoga and much more. All times and dates as well as further information are available on request.

In the summer, we also have regular trips as part of the “Alternative Aging” network.

Our volunteer staff at the Schwulenberatung Berlin are happy to help. They are available to visit you at home, in hospital or at nursing facilities as well as going to cafés with you, to the theatre, cinema or to exhibitions.

If you are unable or don’t enjoy leaving the house alone, our mobile care unit is happy to be there for you. Just get in contact!

We really enjoy supporting others, but we also need support ourselves! Please let us know if you could be of help to our volunteer services.

In our housing program “Lebensort Vielfalt” we have many generations of people living under one roof. Around 60% of the residents are gay men over 55, 20% are women, and a further 20% are younger gay men.
The apartments are fully accessible to everyone and modernised barrier-free. This is a house totally without fear and discrimination, which naturally means there is a huge interest in securing a place here.

The Schwulenberatung Berlin aims to create more living and care home projects in the future.

At “Lebensort Vielfalt” we have also shared apartments offering care and assistance especially for gay men.

The barrier-free apartments are set up in order to provide a safe living space for every need.
