Big Island Senior Assisted Living

Why should I choose Hale Pu'uhonua over other facilities?

With a maximum of five residents, our staff is able to develop a close relationship with each resident.  Knowing each resident’s preferences allows us to provide a higher, more personalized level of care compared to larger facilities.

What types of activities & amenities do you offer?

Prior to admission we will discuss with the resident and their families the activity preferences of the resident.  We take our residents to the ocean, to the Zoo, to church, etc. Within the facility we have a computer with high speed internet (that our staff would be happy to teach the resident how to use), television, radio, two outdoor recreation areas, board games, DVDs, etc.

What is your fee structure?

For ambulatory, non-demented residents needing minimal supervision and care, our monthly fee starts @ $3,250 for a private bedroom with a shared bathroom.  For a private room with private bath and/or for residents needing additional assistance, fees range from $3,500 to $8,000/month.  There are no buy-ins or deposits.

What documentation is required prior to admission?

We will provide you with a checklist of all required admission paperwork.

Do you allow pets?

Pets may visit, but they cannot stay at the facility.

Can you care for people with a catheter, a feeding tube, dementia, etc.?

Admission of residents with special care needs is on a case-by-case basis.  We can provide many of the same nursing services that are offered elsewhere; it frequently is a matter of ensuring our staff can manage any additional workload required by a new resident.

Is there a contract? A buy-in fee?

There is no contract and there are no buy-in fees or deposits of any sort. If you decide to end your stay, a written two weeks’ notice is all that is required.
