He kūpono anei kahi home mālama no kāu mea aloha me ka maʻi Alzheimer? E kamaʻilio kākou e pili ana i kēia.

Inā loaʻa i kou makuahine, kou makuakāne, a i ʻole kekahi āu e aloha ai ka maʻi Alzheimer, ʻike wau i ka paʻakikī a me ke kaumaha o ka naʻau e mālama iā lākou. I ka nalowale ʻana o ko lākou hoʻomanaʻo i kēlā me kēia lā, a lilo lākou i mea hiki ʻole ke hana i nā mea ma o lākou iho, pono lākou i ka mālama 24 hola. I nā manawa e like me kēia, e noʻonoʻo paha ʻoe e pili ana i kahi home mālama. He hoʻoholo paʻakikī ia. Akā e hoʻomanaʻo, ke hana nei ʻoe ia mea no ke aloha a no ko lākou palekana. ʻO ka mea nui loa, ʻo ia ka ʻike piha a hana i ka hoʻoholo maikaʻi loa.

He aha ke ʻano o ka mālama i hāʻawi ʻia ma kahi home hānai?

I ka ʻōlelo maʻalahi, hāʻawi nā wahi e like me kēia i ʻelua ʻano mālama nui.

1. Mālama Kumu: ʻO ke kōkua ʻana i nā hana o kēlā me kēia lā. Eia kekahi laʻana, kōkua i ka ʻauʻau ʻana, ke komo ʻana, ka ʻai ʻana, a me ka hele wāwae.

2. Mālama Akamai: He ʻoi aku ka holomua o kēia. Pili ia i nā lawelawe a nā poʻe loea e like me nā Kahu Maʻi i Kāinoa ʻia a me nā Luna Hoʻōla Kino. Hoʻokele lākou i nā kūlana olakino, kuhikuhi i nā lāʻau lapaʻau e pono ai, a hāʻawi i ka mālama olakino.

Ma keʻano laulā, hiki ke manaʻo ʻia nā lawelawe ma lalo nei mai kahi home kahu hānai:

• Kahi noho a me nā meaʻai (kahi lumi a me ʻekolu mau meaʻai i ka lā)
• Kōkua i ka lawelawe ʻana i ka lāʻau lapaʻau i ka manawa kūpono
• Kōkua i nā hana pilikino e like me ke kapa ʻana, ka ʻauʻau ʻana, a me ka hele ʻana i ka halepaku
• Ka lawelawe mālama pilikia 24-hola
• Nā hana like ʻole no ka pono o ka noʻonoʻo a me ka leʻaleʻa (Nā hana pilikanaka a me nā hana leʻaleʻa)

Pehea e ʻike ai i ka wahi maikaʻi loa?

Hiki ke lōʻihi ka manawa e loaʻa ai kahi kūpono no kāu mea aloha. No laila, he mea nui loa ka hoʻomaka ʻana e ʻimi i ka wā mua, ma mua o ke kali ʻana a hiki i ka wā e loaʻa ai kahi pilikia. No ka mea, aia paha nā papa inoa kali no ke komo ʻana i nā wahi maikaʻi he nui. Hiki i ka hoʻolālā ʻana ma mua ke maʻalahi i ka hoʻololi ʻana.

ʻO ka mea mua, pono ʻoe a me kou ʻohana e kūkākūkā i nā lawelawe e pono ai kāu mea aloha a me ka pinepine o kā lākou pono ʻana. Ma mua o kou kāhea ʻana i nā wahi, e hana i kahi papa inoa o nā mea nui iā ʻoe. Kāhea i nā wahi a nīnau inā he mau lumi ko lākou, he aha nā koi komo, he aha ka pae o ka mālama a lākou e hāʻawi ai, a me nā ʻano uku a lākou e hāʻawi ai.

I ke koho ʻana i kahi hale hānai, e hoʻolohe pono i kēia mau mea:

Ma mua o kou hele ʻana e ʻike i kahi wahi, e nānā i kēia papa inoa a e hoʻomau me kāu mau nīnau. Ma kēlā ala, ʻaʻole ʻoe e poina i kekahi mea.

E nānā pū i nā limahana.

• Ua ʻike anei nā kahu maʻi a me nā mea kōkua ma laila i ka mālama ʻana i ka poʻe ʻelemakule, ʻoiai ka poʻe me nā maʻi e like me Alzheimer's?
• Ke ʻōlelo nei lākou a me ke ʻano hana me ka lokomaikaʻi a me ke ahonui me ka poʻe kamaʻāina? Me he mea lā ua mākaukau lākou e hana?
• Ua lawa anei nā limahana e kōkua i ka wā pilikia?
• Aia kekahi poʻe i hoʻomaʻamaʻa kūikawā ʻia e kōkua i ka poʻe me nā pilikia hoʻomanaʻo a me ka huikau?

Pehea nā kamaʻāina a me ke kaiapuni?

• Me he mea lā ua hauʻoli a hoʻomaha paha nā poʻe ʻē aʻe ma laila? Ua maʻemaʻe a ua ʻaʻahu maikaʻi ʻia lākou?
• He aha ka ʻōlelo a nā malihini a me nā kamaʻāina ʻē aʻe e pili ana i ka wahi? Inā hiki, e nīnau iā lākou.
• Ua hōʻike maopopo ʻia nā pono o ka poʻe kamaʻāina?

Hale a me nā pono hana

• He ʻoluʻolu a maʻemaʻe paha kēlā wahi? He ʻala maikaʻi anei?
• Ua like anei nā lumi me ka home? A i ʻole me kahi haukapila?
• Hiki i kekahi e hoʻohana ana i ka noho huila ke neʻe maʻalahi a puni? He haiki anei nā puka a me nā alaloa?
• Ua hoʻomālamalama maikaʻi ʻia nā lumi?
• Aia kekahi ʻōnaehana pane ulia pōpilikia ma kēlā me kēia lumi e hoʻomaopopo i nā limahana i ka wā e loaʻa ai kahi ulia pōpilikia?
• He pilikino anei nā lumi ʻauʻau? Hiki ke hoʻokomo ʻia kahi noho huila i loko?
• Ua ʻae ʻia ʻoe e lawe mai i kekahi mau mea mai kou home mai, e like me ka noho a i ʻole ka papa ʻaina?

E nīnau pono i kēia mau mea e pili ana i nā uku a me nā uku

He mea nui loa ia e hoʻomaopopo pono i kēia mau ʻoiaʻiʻo. No laila e nānā kākou i kēia mau mea ma kahi papa.

ʻO ka lāʻau lapaʻau a me ka mālama ola kino

• Pehea e mālama ʻia ai a hāʻawi ʻia ai nā lāʻau lapaʻau i nā kamaʻāina? Aia kekahi kaʻina hana maopopo no kēlā?
• Inā hiki i kahi kamaʻāina ke lawe i ka lāʻau lapaʻau iā lākou iho, ʻae ʻia kēlā?
• ʻEhia pinepine e hele mai ai ke kauka a kahu maʻi paha e nānā i kou olakino?
• He aha kā lākou e hana ai inā loaʻa kahi pilikia olakino? Lawe lākou iā ʻoe i ka haukapila kokoke loa? Aia kekahi hoʻolālā no kēlā? He aha ke kaʻina hana no ka lawe ʻana iā ʻoe i kahi Emergency Treatment Unit (ETU)?

Nā hana meaʻai a me nā hana pilikanaka

• ʻEhia mau manawa i ka lā āu e lawelawe ai i ka meaʻai? He ʻono a maʻemaʻe anei ka meaʻai?
• Ke hāʻawi nei ʻoe i nā meaʻai i hoʻomākaukau kūikawā ʻia no ka poʻe me nā pono kūikawā (e laʻa me ka maʻi diabetes, ke koko kiʻekiʻe)?
• Aia kekahi wahi e hiki ai i nā mea a pau ke ʻai pū, a i ʻole pono anei mākou e ʻai i loko o nā lumi?
• Aia kekahi mau papahana e leʻaleʻa ai a hana pū i kekahi mea? Makemake anei nā kamaʻāina e komo?

ʻAʻole maʻalahi kēia hoʻoholo e hana. Akā no ka palekana a me ke olakino o kāu mea aloha, i kekahi manawa ʻo ia ka mea maikaʻi loa e hana ai. Ma mua o kou hoʻoholo ʻana e pili ana i kēia, e kamaʻilio me kāu kauka ʻohana a e ʻimi i kāna ʻōlelo aʻo. ʻO ia ka mea e hāʻawi iā ʻoe i ka hilinaʻi hou aʻe.
