Nursing Home · Hawaii, HI
Sakura House is a 35-bed adult day care facility at 1666 Mott Smith Drive in Honolulu, Hawaii. Operating for approximately 17 years, the program serves seniors who are mostly independent but benefit from structured daytime supervision. The facility is licensed through February 2028 and operates Monday through Friday from 8:00 am to 5:00 pm. Its urban location carries a Walk Score of 81, providing convenient proximity to local transit and downtown essentials.
Regulatory monitoring by the Hawaii Department of Health indicates a record of high compliance. The most recent inspection in November 2025 resulted in a citations-per-inspection rate of zero. While a 2023 review identified two administrative deficiencies regarding expired staff TB clearances and physical exam documentation, the facility successfully resolved these items without incurring fines or enforcement actions. Total deficiencies over the last several years remain more than 90% below the state average.
Supervision is provided by a multilingual team that includes licensed practical nurses and trained caregivers. Professional services focus on maintaining residents’ physical and cognitive abilities through structured socialization and health monitoring. The program is designed to support aging-in-place, offering families daytime relief while residents remain in their own homes. Staffing oversight is managed by Community Ties of America, ensuring adherence to state administrative rules.
The daytime environment features a calm, engaging setting with dedicated spaces for social activities and rest. Daily programming includes exercise, crafts, and cognitive games tailored to the participants’ interests. While primarily a day care, the management has historically offered multilingual support for diverse resident populations. The facility is wheelchair accessible and prioritizes a secure, home-like atmosphere during operational hours.
Families seeking a highly-rated daytime program in a central Honolulu location may find this facility appropriate. Interested individuals should ask about current enrollment openings and request a copy of the daily activity schedule before making a final participation decision.
