In Hawaii, many individuals and families find themselves serving as caregivers for their Kūpuna. Making sure that your family members, especially Kūpuna, are safe and well are inherent family and cultural values. Caring for your Kūpuna can be a beautiful yet challenging experience, especially if your loved one has dementia. Don’t despair, there are support services and information available to assist caregivers.

For example, this webinar will present an overview on how to care for Kūpuna with dementia and to educate caregivers. Featured panelists are: Aida Wen, MD and Association Professor, John A. Burns School of Medicine, University of Hawai`i; Diane Terada, Administrator, Community and Senior Service Division, Catholic Charities Hawai`i; and L.J. Duenas, Executive Director, Alzheimer’s Association Hawai`i.
