I think we need to find a place for them to live with professional care. Where do I start?

Accepting help is a courageous first step. Pursuing senior living options and long term care is not giving up. It’s prioritizing safety, well-being, and being open to possibilities. Navigating long-term care can be frustrating and overwhelming.

It’s also important to assess the financial situation. Most people pay for long-term care in Hawaiʻi privately out of pocket, with long term care insurance, or through Medicaid long-term care.

• Talk with your health care provider or case manager about doing a level of care assessment. This may determine whether the person will qualify for Medicaid long-term care.
