Eighteen beds, more than 120 years in operation. Pālolo Chinese Home is one of the smaller nursing homes in Honolulu, and one of the oldest. Located at 2459 10th Ave in the Pālolo neighborhood, the single-story facility sits about 3.4 miles from the city center in a car-dependent area (Walk Score 10). The intimate scale is the defining physical fact here.
Care options span nursing home, assisted living, hospice, and respite care. The average resident stay runs 82 days, which puts this facility squarely in the transitional and short-term care range rather than long-haul residential placement. Private and semi-private rooms are the available configurations.
Staffing runs around the clock, with total nursing care at 4 hours and 32 minutes per resident per day. Registered nurses account for 1 hour and 23 minutes of that figure. Rehabilitation services and short-term rehab are available on-site, consistent with the facility’s short average stay.
The service model reaches well beyond the building. Alongside residential care, Pālolo Chinese Home operates Senior Day Care, In-Home Services, Home Cleaning, Chore Services, Meals to Go, and an Older Adult Home Modification Program. Overnight Respite Care is available for families who need a temporary bridge. The facility accepts Medicare, Medicaid, and private pay.

Families working through a short-term recovery or exploring in-home support alongside nursing care will find more options here than the bed count alone suggests.

Palolo Chinese Home is a 113-bed healthcare campus at 2459 10th Avenue in Honolulu, Hawaii. Led by CEO Darryl Ing and Administrator Darlene Nakayama, the non-profit organization provides a continuum of care including skilled nursing, intermediate care, and adult day health services. The facility holds a license valid through August 2027 and serves seniors across Oahu with specialized support for memory care and rehabilitation. Its location in Palolo Valley carries a Walk Score of 10, making the community’s scheduled transportation necessary for most local errands.
Oversight records from the Hawaii Department of Health and CMS currently reflect a 3-star overall rating. While the campus achieved a citations-per-inspection rate of zero for more severe “immediate jeopardy” categories in late 2025, recent surveys identified several moderate deficiencies. A May 2025 federal inspection documented 22 health citations—exceeding the state average of 10.6, primarily involving care plan updates and incident reporting procedures. A subsequent December 2025 review found that a resident’s nutrition plan did not reflect current physician diet orders, leading the facility to implement new audit protocols for care plan accuracy.
Clinical care is supported by staffing levels that perform at a 4-star level, according to federal benchmarks. The facility provides 3 hours and 58 minutes of nursing time per resident daily, with registered nurse (RN) presence exceeding the state average at 1 hour and 23 minutes. Professional services focus on long-term wellness, with the quality of care for permanent residents earning a 5-star rating. The campus also offers unique community programs, including a “Meals to Go” service for local seniors and home modification assistance to support aging-in-place.
The residential environment features a culturally diverse setting where programs respect the traditions of various ethnicities. Shared amenities include structured socialization, exercise classes, and cultural celebrations, such as Year of the Horse events. Adult day care operates seven days a week, offering supervised activities and meals for up to 30 participants. The facility accepts a combination of private pay, Medicare, and Medicaid, with daily skilled nursing rates starting at approximately $304.
Prospective representatives seeking an established, non-profit campus with strong long-term care outcomes may find this community appropriate. Families are encouraged to ask directly about the updated electronic incident reporting system and verify the current consistency of nutritional transcription for residents with complex dietary needs before making a final placement decision.

Frequently Asked Questions about Assisted Living in Hawaii
What's the difference between assisted living and memory care in Hawaii?
Assisted living in Hawaii supports residents with daily activities (bathing, dressing, medication management) while preserving independence. Memory care is a specialized form of assisted living for residents living with Alzheimer's or dementia, and adds 24/7 secured environments, dementia-trained staff, and structured routines designed to reduce confusion and wandering.
What's the difference between assisted living and a nursing home in Hawaii?
Assisted living in Hawaii is a residential model focused on housing, hospitality, and help with daily activities. Nursing homes (skilled nursing facilities) provide 24/7 medical care from licensed nurses for residents with significant health needs, and are regulated more strictly under both state and federal CMS rules.
Does Hawaii Medicaid cover assisted living?
Hawaii Medicaid does not directly pay room-and-board for assisted living, but most states (including Hawaii) offer Home and Community-Based Services (HCBS) waivers that can offset the cost of care services delivered inside a licensed community. Eligibility, waitlists, and covered services vary — check directly with the state Medicaid agency.
What is assisted living?
Assisted living combines private or semi-private apartments with help on activities of daily living (meals, bathing, dressing, medication management) and a social calendar — for residents who need some support but do not need 24/7 medical care.
How many assisted living facilities are listed on this page?
This page features 100 assisted living facilities in Hawaii. Use the filters and comparison tools above to compare ratings, amenities, and pricing.
How do I choose the right assisted living facility in Hawaii?
Start by matching the level of care offered to the resident's current and anticipated needs, then compare licensing status, staff-to-resident ratios, recent inspection results, and pricing. Tour at least two or three communities in Hawaii, talk to current residents and families, and confirm what is included in the base rate versus billed as add-on services.
What should I look for when visiting assisted living facilities in Hawaii?
Pay attention to staff interactions with residents, cleanliness and odor, food quality at meal times, the activity calendar, and how questions about pricing and care plans are answered. Ask to see the most recent state inspection report, the move-out / level-of-care-change policy, and a sample monthly bill that lists every fee.
