Why home care
In my work with clinicians and families, I saw how difficult it could be to find good support at home. It became personal when my mother struggled to find adequate home care after a long hospital stay.
Professional background
I’ve spent 30 years in healthcare, working with clinicians and supporting patients and families around surgery and recovery. That work has taken me from hospitals and skilled nursing facilities into people’s homes, where I’ve seen how much the right help can affect daily life.
Responsibilities at Kai
My role at Kai is business development. I work with our referral partners, caregivers, and clients’ family members to make the process of arranging care at home easier to navigate.
Care expectations
Meeting someone’s daily needs is essential. How we treat them while doing it matters too. I want each interaction with a caregiver to be kind and respectful, with the person’s dignity in mind.
Family and community
I was raised in Hawaiʻi, with kūpuna who helped teach me kindness, respect, and integrity. Those lessons shape how I work. Caring for older adults here is a chance to give back to the community that helped raise me.
Advice for families
Caring for someone’s loved one is a serious responsibility. I’m grateful for the opportunity to work with our clients and their families. I want you to feel comfortable telling us what matters to you and what you’re worried about.
