Assisted Living Communities in Honolulu, HI

"We visited The Plaza at Waikiki. They wanted to know how much we could pay because they didn't take any insurance. Then they said she had to leave in two years if she didn't get any. The people were fine and nothing special, just fine. We didn't look at the rooms because they weren't interested in having her. The facility is brand new. The initial information that I got did not satisfy me to the point that I was going to go in and ask them more questions. "

"Hale O Meleana was new and pretty. Everybody seemed very nice. It was very, very quiet. They kind of emphasize resident privacy. We thought it would be better for somebody who was maybe able to get around a little bit more on their own. It was clean. The staff was nice, informative, and very friendly. They had classes and outings and an outdoor courtyard. Overall, it was very nice. It was just very expensive, not somewhere that we would put our mom, just because it didn't fit her."

"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."

"I went to The Plaza at Monalua at breakfast time and really liked their dining room. It was more family-style, so the residents can sit down and socialize really well. I saw that their exercise class was packed. It was so popular that they needed a second class. All the residents looked very happy. It was an upbeat place with lots of activities like mahjong, games, and trips to stores and shopping areas. "

"My first visit to a resident here was in 1968. I never thot to look at Kaneohe except as a pause during a round the island journey on my day off. My mom and dad came to reside there in 2003, after being on the mainland (N.M.) for 22 years. What a wonderful slice of Paradise this twin apartment and homesites, care homes, and hospice are. I have visited a dozen times in as many years from overseas, staying an average of ten days to visit the folks. All the staff, grounds, atmosphere, food, cleanliness, and in house services are excellent, and L O V E L Y. THERE IS NONE BETTER, I less you live I a Palace, which wouldn't be as Fun. "

"The staff at Aiea Heights Senior Living is really good. We didn't get to see my mother's room though. We weren't allowed in because of COVID, but she says it's clean, and she's happy she has her own room. They don't really have amenities there that are usable right now. There is an outdoor area, but they don't get to go out and use it right now. She doesn't like the food. She said it doesn't have any taste and I think it's just because they have to be low salt and low fat and everything else. They have an activities/recreation person there. I think they've done arts and crafts, and I know they do a lot of exercises. Sometimes, they have people that come up and do some ukulele group/singing entertainment, but they have to stay outside, so they all gather by the front door and the entertainers would be entertaining outside in front of the window. There's a nice living area with a nice view, but there's not much else for them right now because they can't really go out anywhere. It's mostly just the living area that they go to, and their own room. Communication has been good, anytime she's needed anything they'd give us a call, or text me, or let me know. Sometimes they let me know that she needs more medications at the last minute. She likes the staff. The staff has been very nice to her, so she really enjoys being with them."

"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."

"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. "

"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. "

"My mother moved into Ilima at Leihano. It's very good, it's very comfortable for her, there are a lot of activities, and they take care of her very well there. Her apartment is spacious and comfortable. They have exercise, bingo, and crafts. The food is excellent. The staff is friendly, caring, and helpful. It's a beautiful place, clean, and well-maintained."

"In July an entirely new management team took this facility over, so it's night and day compared to the old owners. Oceanside Hawaii is located less than an hours drive from Honolulu. That could be a good or bad thing depending on your perspective. For those who want their aging parents in a quiet facility close to nature and far from the hustle and bustle, traffic and tourists of the city, this is a good choice. The new facilities have been renovated and they've gone out of their way to create a family atmosphere with friendly staff. Besides being friendly, they have qualified professionals onsite who are RNs (registered nurses) and LPNs (Licensed Practitioner Nurses) so your loved ones are in safe and competent hands. Best of all, because they are located away from the crazy real estate prices of the city, their costs are lower and they pass that on to their clients. Oceanside's prices are almost half that of those in the city. Definitely worth taking a tour to see if this is for your parents. "
