Aloha!
We work with many families who are transitioning their kupuna in one way or another, either their parent or grandparent is moving in with them, or they are moving in with their parent, or the grandparent is moving into Kalama Heights, Roselani Place, Hale Makua, or Kula San. And one of the tricky things about any of these moves is that in each of these cases, the senior has to do some downsizing or decluttering. That’s why we invited Belia Paul of A Honu Space to be our guest on Episode 5 of the Taking Care of Tutu podcast.
