Located on Kawaihae Street in Honolulu, The Ivy at Hawaii Kai is an assisted living community offering studio, one-bedroom, two-bedroom, and three-bedroom floor plans. The variety of layouts gives older adults flexibility in choosing the amount of living space and privacy that best fits their needs.
The surrounding neighborhood has a walkability score of 6, so most errands and visits require a vehicle rather than traveling on foot. Families planning to spend time with loved ones should expect to drive to the community.
Touring the community in person is the best way to explore the available residences, learn about care services and staffing, and experience the daily atmosphere. A visit also helps families decide whether the community is the right fit for their loved one’s needs.

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.
