Nonales' runs small assisted living group homes in Honolulu where up to five seniors live together with help always near, and the place has been around since 1997, so folks know they can expect steady care and a personal touch, with live-in caregivers or visiting nurses who help with bathing, grooming, meals, getting dressed, medication reminders, and even things like incontinence care, and the set-up means you see the same faces every day, which makes it feel more like home than a big place with long halls and lots of people coming and going since here the staff usually numbers one to four folks who know every resident by name. The homes are set in quiet neighborhoods near parks, golf courses, doctors, and hospitals, and they're handy to nearby churches like Community Lutheran Church Wels, so residents can keep up with their spiritual life or get out for errands, doctor's appointments, and even a stop at a nearby café, because the staff can set up rides.
There's always something planned, like movie nights, board games, music sessions, craft plans, fitness activities, or pet therapy, and the yards and gardens give folks a place to relax outdoors, while inside you'll find a book room, recreation and game rooms, a dining room, a hot tub, and even a steam or health room, along with spots for a haircut or a shower with help, because the house is set up for wheelchair access and non-ambulatory care. Meals come home-cooked, with options for folks who need special diets for things like diabetes or high blood pressure, and there's always help with serving, eating, or even getting up and down from the table, and the kitchen can make changes if someone needs their food prepared a certain way. The place isn't pet-friendly, but it prides itself on a familiar routine and staff who know when you like to eat or if you'd rather read than watch TV, and the caregivers don't just help with daily needs but also keep company and make sure folks stay safe, with special programs for those facing memory loss like Alzheimer's, and the whole place is secured to keep residents from wandering.
Nonales' offers all levels of care, so someone living here can get independent living with only a little help, then move to more care as needed, including skilled nursing after a hospital stay, hospice care, or around-the-clock supervision for memory impairment, all under one roof, and the rooms come furnished, cleaned, and set up with an emergency alert system and easy access to laundry, so seniors can focus on their hobbies or social activities instead of chores. The home is certified by the Hawaii Department of Social Services for memory care, and the routine includes activities for the body, mind, and spirit, from music therapy to outdoor strolls, with hospice and short-term respite stays available, plus home healthcare, adult home health, and foster care services, all tailored and coordinated by staff who check in often, schedule appointments, keep up with care plans, and make sure each person gets the support they need as time goes on, just like in a family home where people matter most.
