The Best Assisted Living Communities in Honolulu County, HI

"One Kalakaua Senior Living is an assisted living facility in Honolulu, HI that offers its residents quality living and daily support services. The caregivers are expert and professionally manage the routine activity at the place. I have personally visited the facility with my grandfather last month and found it suitable for aging people. Food is excellent and balanced in nutritious value. The people in the facility are friendly and help each other in difficult times. Nursing facility is available 24 hours and health is given prime importance. It is the best to receive eldercare. Nursing staff on duty is very competent and skilled. The people are busy in various activities like gardening, pet care etc to live a better life. The atmosphere is tidy, neat and clean with all kind of facilities. I think it really serves the purpose of assisted living facility and allows a comfortable stay. It is highly recommended for blood relations. "

"The thing we liked the best about Manoa Cottage was that they had people who spoke Japanese and they had oriental foods. It's made up of three houses with eight bedrooms in each. The rooms were very small and very simple. Then there's a community bathroom. They also have a TV and a koi pond. It's an old place, but the staff was very nice and very calm."

"Kalakaua Gardens is a good facility right in town. It offers every level of care from independent down to totally dependent. The dining area is beautiful. The menu was quite nice. It had very nice choices and things like that. They had PT and OT. The staff was very nice and was a lot of very young people. The common areas were very beautiful all throughout. They have quite a few areas and smaller little sitting areas. Everything is self-contained in the building. They have a patio and things, but the other places had a yard and things like that."

"The Plaza at Waikiki is brand new, and it is in the heart of Waikiki. It is a very desirable location. The negatives are it is too industrial for my taste, and it is extremely expensive because it is in the heart of the city. The staff is always nice. We check a couple of the rooms, and they are nice. They have studio, one-bedroom, and two-bedroom units. The studio is more on my price range. "

"The retirement home, Pohainani, was a very nice facility located in a very nice facility. I thought that the staff there seemed very friendly and accommodating to the elder residents that lived there. The environment was very clean and welcoming, much like a resort or hotel. While I was only a part of recitals and visits like that, it was only one of the many activities provided by the facility that made it seem like a very nice place to live. If anything, I have heard that it costs a pretty good deal of money to stay there, but if one can afford it, it's definitely worth it for the care and service provided. "

"My aunt is living in Manoa Senior Care. They’re very family friendly, and it was the right fit for my aunt. For activities, they work with the school and the students come in and work with the seniors. The residents stay in the community-based care homes. The food is home-made cooking, they get it fresh from the local farmers."

"The Plaza at Pearl City is brand new. We like this facility. The staff is good, but it is too inconvenient to get there. They are too short for activities. I do know they have a Valentine's activity. The rooms are just newer because it is a brand new facility. It is only a few months old. The dining room is small, but they have several dining rooms, so it is OK. "

"My mom is in Legacy Villa. The food is not very good, so I have to bring her food. It is just that it has ethnic food that she does not like. They are giving nutritious meals, but it is not the kind of food she likes. The rooms are very nice, and the staff is good. "

"Wilson Senior Living has all facets of care from Independent Living to 24 hours Nursing Care. I visited this facility and was really impressed with the high standard of living they have maintained. They strive to create a home-like atmosphere where you and your loved ones can feel secure. The warm, well-trained staff works closely with the residents to provide the utmost care and comfort. The facility was always clean and well lit, with plenty of staff around. During one of my visits I saw numerous seniors attending a seminar, which seemed to be about current events. Nearby Hospitals include Castle Medical Center, Hawaii Medical Center East and Kaiser Permanente Moanalua Medical Center and Clinic. There is an oversized elevator accessible from each floor as well as two carpeted stairwells. The facility offers all kind of assisted living facilities at much cheaper rates. The lush green environment offers a real natural environment full of love and peace. The pets are also allowed inside the facility which is a good news for pet lovers. Awesome place to live. "

"Kina 'ole Estate Elima is a beautiful estate. It's very spacious and open. It's totally designed for taking up to eight residents there. Each resident has their own room, and their own bath and shower, which is very large. They also have activities that they schedule throughout the day, anything from arts and crafts, to hula, to games. They also go on excursions. They cook all their own food there for the residents. Visitors are allowed. The residents we talked to were extremely happy and even wanted to share their rooms with us so we could see. It's designed for wide open spaces and activities. The staff members are all caring and kind. With regards to food, they cater to not just a set menu, they are able to adjust for the residents."

"Lunalilo Home was very charming. I'm local. They have more local people, and workers were involved with the Kupunas. I really liked that. I found that it was a more family feeling place. They showed me where their dining hall was and their cultural hall. The people were all there. They were doing exercises. They showed the walking facilities and places like that. They were doing chair yoga or chair exercises. It was an older place."

"We liked Ilima at Leihano very much, but it was small and very new. The staff and the residents were very nice, but it was not in a convenient location. "

"Oceanside was very pretty, had two rooms with a bathroom in between, and a private bed with closets. The staff seemed really nice. Their menu looked fine, and they had planned activities. "
