Paranada #2 is an Adult Family Home found at 16 Hoolaulea St in Hilo, nestled in a calm residential neighborhood with a single-story layout, and you'll see it holds up to five seniors, offering a home-like, fully furnished community that's quiet and comfortable, so it feels welcoming right from the start and everyone can keep a sense of independence while still getting the help they might need, whether with bathing, dressing, medication, laundry, or meals. With everything on one level, it makes moving around easier, and there's always a staff member nearby since care is offered twenty-four hours a day, especially for those living with memory loss, dementia, or Alzheimer's, making sure everyone's as safe as possible while giving support day and night. They've got support for independent living and assisted living, too, and while acute nursing care isn't provided, the team is skilled in handling daily care and coordinates with healthcare providers for things like medication and routine medical appointments.
Meals are prepared daily, keeping nutrition needs and preferences in mind, and the dining room lets residents enjoy food together-it's all allergy-aware, with diabetic and high blood pressure options, and you'll find a full-day dining plan that gives everyone choices, so no one's left hungry or eating what doesn't suit them. Recreation is a big focus, with a full calendar of activities that includes fitness classes, crafts, music programs, board games, movie nights, gardening, and even music and pet therapy, so folks have plenty to do, whether in a group or on their own, and there's always an event, whether you like reading in the book room, relaxing in the hot tub, socializing at the salon, or walking along the scenic garden paths outside.
Transportation is offered for doctor appointments, errands, faith-based gatherings, and since the home is licensed for up to five beds (with a listed range between three and five), it stays small and cozy, helping everyone know each other, which makes the place close-knit, especially with the same team assisting with things like showers, bathroom routines, medication management, and all the household chores. There's housekeeping and laundry, move-in coordination, a place for visiting with friends in the recreation room, and an alert system for emergencies. Residents receive highly specialized memory care if needed, and health and safety standards match current senior living guidelines. They don't take Medicare unless certified, but they do provide long-term care alongside independent living and memory care for seniors, so families can feel a bit more at ease knowing their loved ones are cared for respectfully, with compassion, and in a peaceful, supportive setting. Paranada #2 has a Seniorly community score of 3.8 and continues to offer a good choice for seniors who need some help but aren't looking for a big facility, preferring a small, residential setting in the heart of Hilo, with both privacy and a sense of belonging.
