The 10 Best Nursing Homes in Kaneohe, HI for 2024

Kaneohe is a coastal residential community located around 10 miles from Hawaii’s capital, Honolulu, on the island of Oahu. An above-average 23.2% of its 37,430 residents are 65 or older and can take advantage of Hawaii’s retiree-friendly taxes and comfortable year-round climate. More than 20 nursing homes serve the Kaneohe community, and a full-service medical center, Adventist Health Castle, is located nearby to meet seniors’ health care needs.

Nursing homes primarily serve seniors with high-level medical care needs who require round-the-clock supervision. These facilities are staffed 24/7 by licensed professionals that administer medications, assist with personal care and provide skilled nursing services, such as wound care, rehabilitative therapies, pain management and disease monitoring. The Genworth 2021 Cost of Care Survey reveals that Kaneohe nursing homes charge $12,471 per month on average for shared accommodations. Fortunately, more affordable care options, such as home health care or assisted living, are available for seniors with limited medical care needs.

Financial Assistance for Nursing Home Care in Kaneohe, HI

Many seniors and their families use some form of financial assistance to help them pay for nursing care. The main options available are Medicare, Medicaid, and veterans benefits. These programs can be complicated, especially when it comes to benefit terms. Below, we give a brief overview of how these programs may be used towards paying for skilled nursing care.

  • Medicare: Medicare will typically cover all skilled nursing costs for the first 20 days of one’s stay in a nursing home and a portion of the costs until day 100. After 100 days in a skilled nursing facility, Medicare will not cover any part of the cost of the stay. While this is adequate when short-term care is needed, those in need of long-term care will need to either pay out-of-pocket or use another source of financial assistance.
  • Medicaid: Medicaid covers most of the costs of living in a skilled nursing facility for those who qualify. Care, room, and board are covered with no time limit, but residents may be charged for extras like specially prepared food or cosmetic services. Medicaid eligibility standards are strict and complex, so not all seniors are eligible for Medicaid benefits.
  • Veterans Benefits: Veterans receiving a VA pension may also be eligible for the Aid and Attendance benefit administered by the VA. Aid and Attendance is a monthly allowance that beneficiaries may use to pay for their long-term care, including skilled nursing care.

If these options aren’t available to you, check if your loved one has long-term care insurance or contact your Area Agency on Aging to ask about any local financial assistance programs for seniors.
