Imelda G. Arreola runs a small Type I Expanded Adult Residential Care Home right there on 87-164 Kaukamana Street in Waianae, and the place has a license from Hawaii's Department of Social Services for up to 5 seniors. People living there can get help with bathing, dressing, grooming, and moving around, even if they need help with wheelchairs or have trouble walking, and if someone needs two people for support with transfers or insulin shots, the facility may offer that if checked directly. There's medical coordination with doctors, medication management, 24-hour awake caregivers, and regular checks to handle daily needs, along with emergency alert systems in each room for safety and peace of mind. The home has both the Aloha ARCH and Golden Island ARCH as parts of its setup, and it offers care in different levels, from Level 1 up to Level 2 Expanded, which means they help people who need light help as well as those who need more hands-on support.
Furnished rooms have telephones, and the home includes a dining room for three homemade meals a day, with scheduled all-day dining and meal plans that can be adjusted for conditions like diabetes or food allergies, and help with eating if someone needs it. There's housekeeping, laundry, dry cleaning, and move-in help, plus regular cleaning. Residents can spend time in the garden, on walking paths, or out on community evening events, with movie nights, daily activity programs, board games, fitness schedules, art and music plans, and even a book room, sauna, jacuzzi, hairdresser, and game areas. If someone needs rides to doctors, shopping, or church, rides can be set up. The place is designed to be safe, neat, and friendly, so people can get care in a calm, home-like setting.
The staff aim to be warm, courteous, and empathetic, keeping up with current standards for senior care, and they focus on making each day comfortable and respectful for every resident. There's a strong sense of community, and activities are planned to help with socializing, moving, and relaxing, while also supporting independence as much as possible. The place supports people needing adult residential care or assisted living, and jobs for caregivers and nurses come up as the care team works to help everyone live with dignity and kindness.
