Thought cliques ended at the school cafeteria? Peer exclusion is sadly real for kūpuna with lower physical abilities and cognitive conditions. Generally it's better for kupuna to feel like the biggest fish in the tidepool rather than a manini beyond the reef.

When evaluating the size of care settings, you have to think like Goldilocks: each individual kupuna needs a setting that is not too big, not too small, but just right.

In our post, we outline seven very common questions that family members end up ask themselves throughout the process.

Many people don’t even know where to start when trying figuring out senior care. They don’t know what information they should be looking up, or where they should look, or even what questions they should be asking. Basically, they don’t know what they don’t know.

Not knowing the broad differences between the care options means you might waste valuable time, energy, and money or (worse yet) settle on something inappropriate for your kupuna.

Avoid costly mistakes and narrow your search to the right category of care, before you begin to make phone calls to individual facilities.
