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.

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.
