Maui Support & Care-
“On Maui, we focus on maximizing quality care and support for [Alzheimer’s or Dementia] and all those affected. This means providing free classes, support groups, and a 24/7 Helpline for family caregivers.
We know that over 50,000 people take care of a loved one at home in Hawaii (and) these family caregivers often work full time. It’s my hope that we can reach them with tools that make their day-to-day a little easier and help them feel more empowered.”
