Ke kūleʻa ʻana i ka maʻi ʻaʻai - e loaʻa ana ke kākoʻo āu e pono ai

Inā loaʻa ʻoe a i ʻole mea aloha i ka maʻi ʻaʻai, pono paha ʻoe i kōkua me kekahi mau pono kūpono, kālā, a me nā manaʻo. Hiki i ke kūleʻa ʻana me ka maʻi ʻaʻai ke uku i kou manawa, nā manaʻo, a me kāu moʻohelu kālā. Hiki i nā lawelawe kākoʻo ke kōkua iā ʻoe e hoʻokele i nā ʻāpana o kou ola i hoʻopili ʻia e ka maʻi ʻaʻai. E aʻo e pili ana i ke ʻano o ke kākoʻo hiki iā ʻoe ke launa me nā hui i hiki ke kōkua.

Hiki paha iā ʻoe ke mālama i kahi mālama ma ka home ma kahi o kahi haukapila a haukapila paha. ʻO ka pili ʻana i nā hoaaloha a ʻohana paha ke kōkua iā ʻoe e hōʻoluʻolu hou aʻe i ka wā o ka mālama ʻana. ʻO ka mālama ʻana i ka home e hōʻoluʻolu paha i kekahi mau kaomi ma luna o nā kahu, akā e hoʻonui i nā mea ʻē aʻe. E noi i kāu mea mālama ola a i ʻole limahana hana e pili ana i nā lawelawe no ka mālama ma ka home. E nānā pū me nā ʻoihana a me nā hui i helu ʻia ma lalo.

Hoʻokomo pū ʻia nā lawelawe mālama home:

• Mālama maʻi mai kahi kahu maʻi i hoʻopaʻa inoa ʻia
• Nā kipa home ʻana mai kahi mea hoʻoponopono kino a mea hana kaiaulu paha
• Kōkua me ka mālama pilikino e like me ka ʻauʻau ʻana a i ka ʻaʻahu ʻana
• Kōkua i ka holo ʻana i ka hana a hana paha i ka meaʻai

Hiki i kāu hoʻolālā olakino ke kōkua i ka uhi ʻana i ke kumukūʻai no ka mālama home pōkole. Uhi pinepine ʻo Medicare a me Medicaid i kekahi koina mālama home. E uku paha ʻoe i kekahi o nā koina.

Hiki paha iā ʻoe ke loaʻa i ke kōkua me ka huakaʻi i kāu manawa i koho ai. Inā pono ʻoe e huakaʻi i kahi mamao loa e loaʻa ai ka mālama, hiki paha iā ʻoe ke kiʻi i ke kōkua e uhi i ke kumukūʻai o ka uku mokulele. Ke papa inoa nei ka National Patient Travel Center i nā hui e hāʻawi nei i ka huakaʻi manuahi manuahi no nā poʻe e pono ana i nā lawelawe maʻi ʻaʻai lōʻihi. Hāʻawi nā hui ʻē aʻe i kahi e noho ai no ka poʻe e loaʻa ana i ka maʻi ʻaʻai maʻi maʻi mai kahi home.

E kamaʻilio me kāu mea hana kaiaulu e pili ana i nā papahana i hiki ke kōkua i ke uhi ʻana i nā kumukūʻai o ka mālama ʻana i ka maʻi ʻaʻai. ʻO ka hapa nui o nā haukapila he mau kākāʻōlelo kālā e hiki ke kōkua.

• Kōkua kekahi mau hui ʻona ʻole i ka uku no ka mālama ʻana.
• He nui nā ʻoihana lāʻau i loaʻa nā polokalamu kōkua hoʻomanawanui. Hāʻawi kēia mau papahana i nā uku hōʻemi a lāʻau lapaʻau manuahi paha.
• Hāʻawi ka nui o nā haukapila i nā papahana no ka poʻe ʻaʻohe ʻinikua, a i ʻole ka ʻinikua ʻole e uhi i ka uku no ka mālama.
• Hāʻawi ʻo Medicaid i ka inikua olakino no ka poʻe me ka loaʻa kālā haʻahaʻa. Ma muli o ka mokuʻāina holo ia, pili ka pae o ka uhi ʻana i kou wahi e noho ai.
• Hiki paha iā ʻoe ke kūpono no ke kōkua kālā mai ka Social Security inā loaʻa ʻoe i ka maʻi ʻaʻai nui.

Hiki i ke ʻōlelo aʻoaʻo ke kōkua iā ʻoe e kūpale i nā manaʻo paʻakikī e like me ka huhū, ka makaʻu, a me ke kaumaha paha. Hiki i ke kākā'ōlelo ke kōkua iā ʻoe e hoʻoponopono i nā pilikia me kou ʻohana, kiʻi pilikino, a hana paha. E nānā i kahi kākāʻōlelo i loaʻa ka ʻike me ka poʻe me ka maʻi ʻaʻai.

Hiki i kāu hoʻolālā olakino ke kōkua i ka uhi ʻana i ke kumukūʻai o ka ʻōlelo aʻoaʻo, akā palena ʻia paha ʻoe i ka mea āu e ʻike ai. ʻO nā koho ʻē aʻe e:

• Hāʻawi kekahi mau haukapila a me nā kikowaena maʻi ʻaʻai i nā ʻōlelo aʻoaʻo manuahi
• Kūkākūkā pūnaewele
• Hoʻolilo pinepine nā aʻoaʻo aʻoaʻo pūʻulu ma lalo o nā lawelawe hoʻokahi a hoʻokahi
• Hāʻawi paha kāu keʻena olakino kūloko i ka ʻōlelo aʻoaʻo maʻi ʻaʻai
• Pili kekahi mau hale hana maʻi i nā mea maʻi ma muli o ka mea hiki iā lākou ke uku (i kekahi manawa i kapa ʻia he "papa hana uku pahee")
• Hāʻawi kekahi mau kula lapaʻau i ka ʻōlelo aʻo manuahi

Eia ka papa inoa o nā hui no ka poʻe me ka maʻi ʻaʻai a me ko lākou ʻohana a me nā lawelawe a lākou e hāʻawi ai.
