In our island community, where the bonds of family and tradition run deep, facing a long-term care event is one of the most challenging experiences we may encounter.
the Ignacio-Yanger family.
Such events can place emotional, physical and financial strains on even the strongest ‘ohana. Without a clear and thoughtful plan, families often find themselves making difficult decisions during a crisis, leading to stress, burnout and potential conflicts among loved ones.
As a caregiver myself, I’ve experienced the profound impact this role can have. In our close-knit community, caregiving is seen as either a blessing or a curse, depending on one’s perspective and level of preparedness. I’ve chosen to view it as a blessing, embracing the opportunity to care for my loved ones as an honor. This positive outlook is possible because of a well-thought-out plan that relieves pressure and ensures everyone knows their role in supporting our beloved kūpuna.
A well-crafted long-term care plan safeguards the future of those we care for and preserves the unity and well-being of the entire ‘ohana. It provides peace of mind, knowing that decisions have been made in advance, reducing the risk of family disputes and allowing us to focus on what truly matters — caring for one another with aloha.
