Aguinaldo's sits in Honolulu, HI, and works as a small residential care home that's licensed to care for up to 5 seniors at a time, and the place feels close-knit with only a few residents so everyone can get to know each other pretty well, and there's 24-hour staff to give help at any hour, whether it's getting out of bed, bathing, medication reminders, or handling personal care like grooming, dressing, or simply moving around the house. The home specializes in care for people with Alzheimer's disease or dementia, with programs meant to help calm confusion and prevent wandering, and there's a secure layout to keep everyone safe, along with special daily activities like music therapy, board games, and pet therapy to keep minds busy and spirits up, and things like art classes, movie nights, and physical fitness plans are all part of the schedule, so there's always something to do. Residents eat three home-cooked meals each day and, if a doctor says so, there can be special meal plans for things like high blood pressure or diabetes, and the kitchen can make adjustments when people need different foods, and there's help for feeding or with incontinence care if anyone needs it, too.
The living spaces come fully furnished and feel like a regular home, with common areas including a dining room, recreation space, book room, and sometimes a steam room or even a hot tub when available, and outdoor gardens give everyone a spot for fresh air or a little relaxation. Aguinaldo's offers help with most daily living needs like bathing, dressing, toileting, and getting in or out of the shower, plus regular house cleaning and help with laundry, so people don't have to keep up with chores. There's Wi-Fi and cable TV if residents like to stay in touch or watch their favorite shows, and a traveling hairdresser can visit for haircuts and grooming, and the home arranges transportation for doctor visits, errands, and even religious services when needed, all to offer a little freedom and keep everyone involved with the outside world. Staff follow a resident-first care style that keeps up with new standards for elderly care and always tries to fit the unique needs of each person, and there are always plans in place for meals, medications, activities, and daily routines, so families can feel some peace of mind.
Aguinaldo's is a board and care home at Level 1 - Expanded, inspected and licensed by Hawaii's Department of Social Services, and it can offer respite care as a short-term option to help families who need a break. The base monthly cost for Memory Care is $4,500, but costs might change depending on things like what sort of help is needed, the kind of room, and any extra services or amenities that someone chooses, with payment options like private pay, long-term care insurance, or Veterans Aid and Attendance. Services do not include Medicare unless the care home is certified by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services. The property is made up of residential land parcels with unique street addresses and parcel numbers, and the home is associated with assessed land values and market values for both land and buildings, which ties into the property's records and taxes, all assessed for the year 2014, and sometimes there are properties with multiple owners and updates in market value over time. All told, life at Aguinaldo's is about living in a small community where everyone gets the help they need, with a special focus on memory care, good meals, safe spaces, regular activities, and personal attention, while property details stay current and on file with the state.
