Kalākaua Gardens is launching a new educational series, titled “Take Charge of Your Future,” to help seniors and caregivers plan for their care.

This series, which is being offered at no cost, is designed to help those who may not know where to begin or what types of questions to ask about planning for the care of loved ones and to encourage open, honest discussions within families.

The first session is on “Understanding Elder Care: Levels of Care and Care Options” and will be held at Kālakaua Gardens, 1723 Kalākaua Avenue, on Thursday, October 23, beginning at 5:30 pm. Refreshments will be served. Space is limited. Reservations are required. Call Kalākaua Gardens at (808) 581-2273 to register.

Session Description:
Home care? Assisted living? Our long term care system in Hawai‘i is confusing, especially for families trying to determine where in the spectrum of care their older loved one fits. How much help do they need and what happens when that changes? Learn about different levels of care and the various options appropriate for each level, including the associated costs.
