Alexander Manor

1559 Thurston Ave #201, Honolulu, HI 96822
Overview of Alexander Manor

A flat rate that covers everything, no surprise add-ons, is a genuinely simplifying detail, and it’s the financial foundation Alexander Manor builds on at 1559 Thurston Avenue in Honolulu. Twenty-four apartments fill a small, family-style building with elevator access and on-site parking, independent living and assisted living both offered under one roof.

Walkability here is a real strength; a Walk Score of 76 puts this in “very walkable” territory, meaning most errands and everyday essentials sit within a short walk rather than a drive. Day-to-day life runs on inclusion rather than à la carte add-ons: three daily meals in the dining room, daily exercise programming, an entertainment area, and complimentary on-call transportation for trips beyond the property. Laundry and maid service happen daily, not weekly, a detail that matters more than it initially sounds.

On the care side, rehabilitation, respite care, short-term rehab, and personal care round out what’s available, backed by 24-hour staff availability for whatever comes up. Ultimately, Alexander Manor is straightforward, all-inclusive senior living with genuine care depth built in, in one of Honolulu’s more walkable neighborhoods where residents can handle plenty of daily life on foot.

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 95 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.
