Overview of Yamashiro Care Home

Yamashiro Care Home provides assisted living, hospice care, memory care, residential care, and respite care in Kaneohe, HI. Assisted living includes help with daily tasks such as dressing, bathing, and medication while the resident keeps a private living space.

Memory care provides a secured setting with supervision for someone at risk of wandering. Hospice care focuses on comfort for a resident with a terminal illness, while residential care provides ongoing support for someone who lives at the home; respite care offers a short stay when the usual caregiver needs to travel or recover.

With five beds, Yamashiro Care Home is a smaller community where staff and residents can get to know each other, and it may be a good fit for someone who prefers a smaller setting. The range of care types may also suit a resident whose needs change over time, because care can continue within the community.

A Walk Score of 35 places the area in a car-dependent setting, meaning most errands require a car or a ride. Vivian Yamashiro operates Yamashiro Care Home.

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.
