On Kamehameha Highway in Kaneohe sits Yamashiro Care Home, a five-bed state-licensed facility operated by Vivian Yamashiro. The licensing authority is Hawaii’s Department of Health, not federal CMS; this structural fact shapes everything about oversight and regulation.
The home is classified as a Type I Expanded Adult Residential Care Home, licensed under Hawaii’s state system (license 1412-C, expiring December 31, 2026). Residents access it for nursing home, assisted living, or memory care; Hawaii Medicaid coverage, PACE programs, and Medicare Savings Programs apply where eligible. Private-pay residents enter directly.
The location is 1.1 miles from Kaneohe city center, adjacent to the Parkway Recreation Center and Loko Waimaluhia Reservoir Fishing Area. Walk Score 35 captures the reality: somewhat walkable, a few errands on foot, most trips car-dependent. Five beds is genuinely small; a staff-resident dynamic operates at a different scale than 40-bed facilities or larger. That matters for both what the operational model is and what it isn’t.
Programming includes 24-hour nursing presence, recreational activities with emphasis on cognition (relevant for memory care residents), nutritionally planned meals, transportation access, and housekeeping support. For a state-licensed five-bed home, occupancy and staffing-to-resident ratios metrics are not required to be public. What you’re evaluating is a small, intimate care model under state oversight for rural Kaneohe.
