Overview of Palolo Chinese Home Adult Day Care Center

Palolo Chinese Home Adult Day Care Center provides adult day care, assisted living, hospice care, nursing home care, residential care, respite care, and skilled nursing in Honolulu, HI. Adult day care offers support during the day, while assisted living helps with daily tasks such as bathing, dressing, and taking medication.

Skilled nursing includes licensed nursing care on site around the clock, hospice care addresses needs at the end of life, and respite care offers a temporary stay when a family caregiver needs to travel or recover.

The community has 40 beds, creating a smaller setting where staff and residents can get to know each other. Rehabilitation services are available for residents who need therapy as part of their care, and the center also offers Senior Day Care, In Home Services, Meals to Go, and the Older Adult Home Modification Program for daytime care, assistance at home, take home meals, and home changes for older adults. Palolo Chinese Home Adult Day Care Center may be a good fit for a family seeking daytime support, a brief respite stay, or several residential and nursing care options in a smaller community.

Hale Ho Aloha

2670 Pacific Heights Rd, Honolulu, HI 96813
Overview of Hale Ho Aloha

The address alone tells you something: 2670 Pacific Heights Rd puts Hale Ho Aloha 1.4 miles from Honolulu’s city center and under a mile from St. Francis Medical Center, in the Nuuanu – Punchbowl neighborhood. The Walk Score is 3. Getting here, and getting anywhere from here, requires a car.

What the facility offers is nursing home care with 24-hour staffing, hospice, and respite stays in the same building. The clinical roster includes physicians, licensed nurses, a licensed social worker, and a restorative therapy team.

Daily care covers the full range of personal needs: bathing, dressing, feeding, toileting. Nurse call systems are in resident rooms, and WanderGuard monitoring is in place. The infrastructure is attentive to residents who need close oversight.

The common spaces are designed for daily life rather than programming: a dining room, gathering areas, seating spaces, and outdoor lanais. Meals draw on locally inspired cuisine. Volunteer opportunities are available for those who want them.

The structurally significant fact here is payment. Hale Ho Aloha is a state-licensed nursing home and does not hold Medicare or Medicaid certification through the federal CMS framework. That means federal coverage pathways are not available at this facility; families need to plan around private pay from the outset. Administrator Bryce Sumida, DPT, OCS, NHA, leads operations.

What we find is a care-focused nursing home in a central Honolulu location, built for residents who need consistent clinical support and whose families are prepared to navigate private payment.

Starting Price $511/Day Info Pricing updated on October 7th, 2026
