This is kind of a sticky topic, but for those of us who have parents who are still alive, and in thinking about how we want our "golden years" to be played out, it's a necessary one to consider. The Advertiser has acknowledged the issue with a series of articles about caring for your elderly relatives.
If your parents are still alive, or if you are legally responsible for an elderly relative, have you had discussions with them about what they expect you to do when they can longer care for themselves? Have you asked yourself how much you are willing to do to keep them safe and healthy?
Hawai'i has the largest population of elderly per capita in the US, and that rate will accelerate rapidly. How you plan for your parents, relatives and yourselves will largely determine how many resources will be available for you when you need it.
