Del.icio.usKapiolani Community College’s Kupuna Education Center has a variety of classes and orientations this month for family caregivers, boomers, or for those searching for a career opportunity in home care.
“There are a lot more elderly out there, and they’re living much longer,” said Leah Ching, office assistant at KEC. “Now is the time to prepare and learn how to care for our kupuna while they’re healthy, before it becomes too overwhelming.”
