What to Consider About Assisted Living in Kaneohe

The State of Hawaii Department of Health, Office of Health Care Assurance, requires all assisted living facilities in Kaneohe to obtain licensure and pay annual certification fees to operate. It also has a set of minimum standards facilities must follow related to the scope of services they provide, criteria for admitting and retaining residents, care planning and housing.

Benefits and Drawbacks of Assisted Living in Kaneohe

 

  • Assisted living residents in Kaneohe typically obtain medical services at Adventist Health Castle in Kailua, which sits 4 miles outside the city and features over 300 physicians and medical specialists across numerous disciplines. There are four more major medical facilities in nearby Honolulu for those seeking more medical services.

 

  • Out of Hawaii’s four ranked counties, Kaneohe’s Honolulu County comes in second place for health outcomes and contributing factors. Residents enjoy an increased life expectancy of 82.4 years, about 4 years beyond the national norm, and they report better physical and mental health than typical U.S. residents, creating a therapeutic environment for assisted living.

 

  • Kaneohe’s high cost of living serves as the primary drawback for obtaining local assisted living services, with residents paying about 56.3% more for living expenses here than in a typical U.S. community. Fortunately, Hawaii’s QUEST Integration program features funding to help qualified seniors afford assisted living expenses and may promote financial favorability for individuals who meet financial and functional criteria.

 

  • Hawaii residents pay some of the highest state income tax rates in the country, with rates topping out at 11% for those earning $200,000 or more per year. However, the state provides full exemptions for Social Security benefits and income from government and private pensions, letting seniors keep a greater portion of their retirement money. Additionally, it exempts prescription drugs from sales taxes, further helping Kaneohe seniors manage retirement expenses.

 

  • Daytime temperatures in Kaneohe vary little throughout the year, ranging from 77 degrees Fahrenheit in the coolest part of winter to 84 degrees Fahrenheit in the height of summer. To help residents make the most of the city’s ideal climate, many assisted living facilities have on-site amenities, such as swimming pools, resident gardens and walking trails.

 

  • On a 100-point total crime index, Kaneohe ranks 20 points, putting it in the bottom fifth of U.S. communities for safety. Property-related crimes account for nearly all incidents of criminal activity, making assisted living a good alternative to living alone for those with safety concerns.
