Lunalilo Home, found at 501 Kekauluohi Street in Honolulu, focuses on long-term care for seniors, offering a warm and peaceful place where elders can feel safe and looked after by a friendly and dedicated team that's there around the clock and, being a Type II Expanded Adult Residential Care Home, provides 42 licensed beds and serves people needing help with daily tasks, memory care, diabetic care, medication management, high acuity needs, and even non-ambulatory care, which means seniors who can't walk on their own find support here. The Home follows all local rules and stays licensed with regular government reviews, upholding a mission inspired by King William Charles Lunalilo to care for kupuna, or elders, in the Hawaiian community.
People coming to Lunalilo Home find a mix of single, double, or multi-person rooms, private baths, and wheelchair accessible showers so moving around and daily routines are easier for everyone, and meals are made with local herbs and vegetables from their gardens and planned by a dietitian for good health. The Home sits in a two-story building set up for comfort, with indoor and outdoor areas for sitting, talking, reading, or just enjoying the breeze. For seniors who need a break, there's not only longer stays, but also respite care for short-term help after a surgery or injury, and an adult day center where people join group exercise, arts and crafts, music, cooking, stretching, or even karaoke, movie times, and devotional activities-plus transportation services for getting to events or appointments.
Lunalilo Home maintains a flexible range of care help, so each resident gets personal support as needs change day to day, whether it's something like incontinence care or simply a helping hand with daily living. The Home arranges religious services, holiday parties, and offers a full list of social, cultural, and educational activities to help people mingle and make friends while staying active. The Meals-to-Go option makes sure there's always access to healthy food, even on days when it's hard to get to the dining area. Their Kauhale Kupuna Strategic Plan shows they're working to reach more elders who could use this kind of care. Staff look out for everyone with attention, aiming for a nurturing feeling and making sure no one feels left out, which supports connections among residents. Lunalilo Home keeps its focus on affordable, supportive care that fits the needs of Hawaii's older adults and makes life as comfortable as possible.
