Lanai Receives Earmark Funding To Build First-Ever Adult Day Care Center On Its Island
Lahaina is home to just 3,000 residents with more than 30% over the age of 60.
U.S. Senator Brian Schatz secured $1.1 million in new earmark funding to help build the first-ever adult day care center on Lanai Island. Lanai is home to just 3,000 residents with more than 30% over the age of 60.
“Too many seniors on Lānaʻi are being forced to move away from their homes and off island just to get the care they need,” said Schatz.
“This new funding will help build Lānaʻi’s first ever adult day care center, giving seniors a much-needed option for care, while keeping families together.”
“Lānaʻi Kinā‘ole is honored, appreciative and humbled to receive new federal funding secured by Hawai‘i Senator Brian Schatz,” said Valerie Janikowski RN, Program Administrator for Lānaʻi Kinā‘ole.
“Our appreciation is also extended, for never-ending support, to our team, our Board of Directors, and so many in the Lānaʻi community and across the state. The advocacy and service we provide is for the community, and without the support of the community, and so many it would be impossible.”
