What to Consider About Assisted Living in Kaneohe
Kaneohe is located northeast of Honolulu on the shore of Kaneohe Bay. The town’s name means “bamboo husband,” and it has a sizable senior population. Of the town’s nearly 35,000 people, 20% are seniors. With so many seniors in the area, it is no surprise that there are 11 assisted living facilities located nearby.
In Kaneohe, assisted living facilities are regulated by the Office of Health Care Assurance, a division of the Hawaii Department of Health. These facilities provide personal care services, health monitoring, social activities and other services for their residents.
Benefits and Drawbacks of Assisted Living in Kaneohe
- Kaneohe offers year-round warm weather. Winter lows are in the 60s, and summer highs are in the 80s. In an average year, the city receives zero inches of snow, which is much less than the national average of 28. Seniors can participate in their favorite warm weather activities, such as walking and golf, at any time of year.
- Kaneohe’s great weather makes it a desirable place to live, and unfortunately, that is reflected in its higher-than-average cost of living. The town’s overall cost of living is 123.4% higher than the national average. The biggest factor is the area’s housing costs, though utilities and groceries are also pricier.
- Hawaii’s retiree-friendly tax policies may help make up for Kaneohe's high cost of living. Many types of pensions, including military, federal and state, are not taxed. Social Security benefits are also exempt. Private, employer-funded pensions may be partially taxed.
- Compared to the statewide average, Kaneohe’s crime rate is low. Residents of this city have a one in 507 chance of becoming a victim of a violent crime, while for Hawaii overall, the chance is one in 399. Seniors who want to retire in Hawaii may choose Kaneohe for this reason.
- The Kaneohe area is home to world-class medical facilities, including Adventist Health Castle, in the event of medical emergencies or illness.
- Seniors who live in Kaneohe can take advantage of the area’s many tourist destinations. The 400-acre Ho’omaluhia Botanical Garden displays plantings from around the world. For kayaking, snorkeling and other outdoor activities, they can visit He’eia State Park. Art enthusiasts can visit the Sunshine Arts Gallery, which displays original Hawaiian artwork.
