Lunalilo Home
Operated by CEO Keolamaikalani Dean, Lunalilo Home is an assisted living community in the Hawaiʻi Kai neighborhood of Honolulu, about 1.8 miles from the city center. It offers assisted living, adult day care, residential care, and respite care under one roof, and has served Oahu’s kūpuna for over a century. The 40-bed community is licensed as a Type II Expanded Adult Residential Care Home in a two-story building. Residents can select from private or shared rooms, including single, double, or multi-person occupancy. The somewhat walkable neighborhood carries a Walk Score of 40. A few nearby errands can be done on foot, with most trips needing transportation.
With staff available to help with personal care, medication management, and first aid, Care at Lunalilo Home is built around ambulatory residents. Special dietary needs are handled, and meals and snacks are served from a set sample menu, alongside a meals-to-go option for added flexibility. Recreational, cultural, and spiritual programming is rooted in native Hawaiian culture and values, giving daily life here a distinct local character. Practical support transcends direct care. The home provides transportation to medical appointments, along with housekeeping and laundry services, so occupants and their families have fewer logistics to manage on their own. Between its cultural programming and its set of care levels, from residential care to respite stays, Lunalilo Home is tailored to support kūpuna at more than one stage of need.
