Overview of Hi’olani Assisted Living Center at Kahala Nui Hi’olani Assisted Living Center at Kahala Nui is a continuing care retirement community in Honolulu, Hawaii, offering independent living, assisted living, memory care, and skilled nursing. Independent living provides private living with community services and no daily care, while assisted living helps with daily tasks such as bathing, dressing, and medication management.
Memory care provides a secured setting with supervision for someone at risk of wandering. Skilled nursing provides licensed nursing care on site around the clock. Because several care levels are available, a resident whose needs grow over time may be able to move between levels without leaving the community.
The community has 20 beds, which can allow staff and residents to become familiar with one another. Private and semi-private rooms are available, offering either an individual room or a shared living arrangement. A Walk Score of 71 means the area is very walkable, with most errands possible on foot, so a resident who no longer drives can still get out independently.
Medicare, Medicaid, and private pay are accepted. Medicare applies to short-term skilled care after a hospital stay, Medicaid may help cover a longer stay when savings are limited, and private pay allows a family to pay directly. Total nurse staffing is 6h 57m per resident per day, representing the daily hands-on nursing time allocated to each resident. The Memory Support program and the range of care levels may make the community a good fit for someone living with dementia whose care needs may change over time.
