Currently, nearly 100,000 kupuna and others in Hawaii are impacted by Alzheimer’s disease, or another form of dementia. Serving Oahu, Maui, Kauai, Hawaii Island, Guam, the Northern Mariana Islands, and American Samoa, the Alzheimer’s Association – Hawaii is here to help.
In response to the devastating Maui fires that displaced many families, the Alzheimer’s Association- Hawaiʻi is offering caregiver respite financial assistance to families impacted by the fires.
This financial assistance program aims to provide support and temporary relief to caregivers caring for loved ones with Alzheimer’s or another forms of dementia during this challenging time.
The caregiver respite financial assistance program will cover caregiving services of up to $2,500 per family in and outside of the home or a temporary residence, adult day care, or placement at an assisted living facility.
To apply for the program, please click here. If you have questions, please call our office at 808.591.2771 or email alohainfo@alz.org.
For additional support, we encourage Maui residents to reach out to the Maui County Office of Aging at 808.270.7774.
