Providing Support to Seniors & their Families
Mar 14, 2019 12:00 PM
Nicole Malia Coglietta, CEO & Co-Founder of Care Sift, a senior care finder service, started the Hawaii-based company in November 2015. Ms. Coglietta started this business because of her experience working as a discharge planner in various local hospitals and watching families struggle to find affordable, quality senior care at a time in their lives when they were at their most stressed and time-pressed. Two and a half years ago, when she found herself driving around Kaneohe in the middle of the night, going door to door frantically looking for a care home for her grandfather who was being discharged from the hospital the following day, she decided to start a company to provide support to seniors and their families looking for senior care. “The process was a nightmare even for me an experienced social worker,” she said. Although she never dreamt of being an entrepreneur, Ms. Coglietta said that starting and building Care Sift has been a truly gratifying experience. She and her amazing team, whom she describes as “professional, compassionate and committed to doing what’s right for our seniors and supporting our care providers,” are the reason she said Care Sift works with every hospital on Oahu. And, the reason Care Sift has hundreds of partners, including care homes, foster homes, assisted living communities, skilled nursing facilities, adult day care centers, and in-home caregiver agencies. “We’ve expanded to include all types of senior care options for families seeking senior care to accommodate every budget and level of care needed,” Ms. Coglietta said. Ms. Coglietta is a local girl, having grown up in Kaneohe and graduated from Castle High School. She earned a Bachelor of Arts Degree in Psychology and a Master of Social Work Degree at the University of Hawaii, Manoa. She lives in Kaneohe with her husband, Dennis, and their two sons, Maverick, six years old, and Lennox, three years old. They enjoy the outdoors, and all watersports as a family. And they especially love spending time with family and friends. Nicole.Coglietta@CareSift.com

The Leahey Legacy: Generations of Sportscasting in Hawaii
Apr 04, 2019 12:00 PM
Jim Leahey is an iconic name in the world of Hawai‘i sports broadcasting. For thousands of games, his voice brought University of Hawai‘i athletics into our living rooms. And he’s one-third of a local sports dynasty; his father was legendary sportscaster Chuck Leahey, and the ball is now in the hands of Jim’s son Kanoa. James Charles Leahey, sometimes called Kimo, but better known as Jim, retired in June 2018 from a career that spanned more than sixty years in sports broadcasting. He started out teaching school, which he calls his first love. After he changed careers, he became the most recognized sports voice in Hawai‘i, announcing games and hosting sports talk shows on radio and television for decades. His first radio announcing job came unexpectedly in his teens, when his sportscaster father, Chuck Leahey, fell ill. Chuck Leahey had gotten his start in Hawai‘i as a U.S. Navy reporter during World War II.
