Tell us challenges of seniors

Advertiser Staff

Hawai'i's older seniors and those who care for them face difficult issues, such as finding daycare or respite care, as well as healthcare. And these issues are expected to loom larger as Hawai'i's population ages. If you or a loved one is grappling with these difficulties, we want to hear from you, for a project on Aging in Hawai'i. We're particularly interested in hearing from seniors who can tell us what's missing in healthcare and transportation options, and from sandwich-generation caregivers who are responsible for both parents and children.
