Hawaii is a lovely place to spend your golden years and to find the best Hawaiian assisted living facility near you. You'll enjoy the beautiful surroundings, outdoor fun, warm weather, and a more relaxed lifestyle. In Hawaii, there are also lots of programs and opportunities established to make assisted living as comfortable as possible.
Hawaii is nicknamed the "Aloha State”, which, when translated, means affection and compassion. This is also why Hawaii is the golden place for aged couples to enjoy their golden years. Due to the high aging population in the state, more attention is given to issues that concern the elderly, such as affordable assisted living facilities, senior health care, and other programs to help seniors live their retirement years with fulfillment.
Seniors deserve to enjoy their golden age aging in place in an environment that is conducive and comfortable for their needs as they age. One unique fact about the Aloha state is the plethora of options available to anyone seeking affordable assisted living facilities. Each of the Hawaiian islands is so diverse, as are the assisted living facilities, so it is important to identify the assisted living facility that is best for you.
Hawaii has a mainland and several Islands that make up the state. It’s important to know that each island may in fact have some differing regulations. There are regulations for assisted living facilities, adult daycare, adult foster care and nursing home facilities. It’s always a good idea to contact each Hawaii island of interest and ask the facilities to share the information you need to know. The Department of Health, Office of Health Care Assurance, known as OHCA, oversees all the Hawaii senior living licensing. The first regulations were put in place for Assisted Living from 1999 to present.
Hawaii Assisted Living Costs and Programs for Financial Assistance
In Hawaii, the Med-Quest program takes the place of Medicaid waiver programs that most states offer seniors and retirees. They will cover costs to those that qualify for adult day care, foster care and assisted living as well as limited at home care services. None of the state non-Medicaid assistance programs will actually pay for assisted living in any Island in the state of Hawaii.
The Island mainland is the most expensive for assisted living, as a flat-rate standard fee is at over $5,000 per month. The other Islands may go as far as $1,000 cheaper but we need to keep something in mind here. First, the flat-rate does not include Alzheimer’s and memory care. A high number of people going into Hawaii assisted living facilities do so because memory issues have been observed either by the family, friends or by caregivers.
So, planning for this to happen is a prudent move. For example, you move to an island that’s a bit cheaper but then a month later need memory care or any other specialized care like speech therapy after stroke etc. If you budgeted too tightly, the resident may not get the care they need. The rate will increase to over $5,000 per month quickly. You don’t want to be blindsided.
Other financial assistance you may want to look into are the benefits you may already have or be entitled to. For example, veteran’s benefits may be available. Moreover, vets and their dependents may actually have non-profit organizations to help supplement room and board at assisted living in of the facilities in Hawaii. There are also non-profits for public servants like police officers and firefighters.
Hawaii Assisted Living for Couples
If you prefer to age in place and transition into an assisted living with your elderly loved one, then you don’t have to worry as there is a plethora of opportunities for you and your loved one to continue to live together. Even if your loved one and you may have different needs and preferences, Hawaiian assisted living facilities understand and will create care plans that are best suited to each of your needs and preferences.
It is important to plan and take your time to research and tour Hawaiian assisted living homes so that you may find the best assisted living facility that house couples. You should write down both of your preferences, current needs and future needs, and ask the assisted living facilities about the services they provide. Also, ask the assisted living facilities about how the costs may vary if either one or both parents that are seeking assisted living require additional support at a later point. If you’re looking for both parents, ask the assisted living facility about how many other couples also live in the assisted living facility, as it is important to identify an assisted living facility that also houses other couples, as couples have unique needs and preferences.
It is also important to ask about the costs of a double room so that both senior citizens continue to age in place together for years to come as they socialize with the other Hawaiian assisted living facility senior residents. Be sure to financially plan and arrange your finances accordingly so that you have sufficient funds in the case of the rapid progression of a healthcare condition. It is also important that you consider the seniors' social needs and ensure that the Hawaiian assisted living facilities host excursions and residential recreational activities that cater to their preferences so that they may stay engaged and active. The residential recreational activities are important to help senior citizens to continue to have a purpose for a fulfilling quality life.
Room Requirements for Assisted Living in Hawaii
Each assisted living resident in Hawaii must be provided with a room that includes a full bathroom and the capacity for food preparation and storage. It must give the resident the ability to cook and a full sink. The unit will be 220 square feet which does not include the bathroom space. This is so the resident has freedom of movement with optimal safety. The resident must have a full bath, toilet and sink and shower. The cooking appliances must have the ability to be safely disconnected. This will be modified according to the needs of the resident.

This is assumed to be decided upon depending on the needs of the resident.
