Lory's sits in Waipahu, HI, and holds a Type I Expanded Adult Residential Care Home license, so the place can take up to 5 residents, although sometimes it only cares for 4 people, making things quieter and less crowded, which some might like. The building's got furnished rooms, walking paths, gardens, and spots to relax outside, and indoors you'll find a dining room where folks get three homemade meals a day, and the kitchen can make food for people who have diabetes or other health needs, and they're careful about allergies. There's all-day dining if someone needs a meal outside the normal schedule. Every week you'll see scheduled activities, movie nights, guest entertainment, music, exercise, and creative events, and there's a book room, a game area, and places for community gatherings in the evenings, plus a jacuzzi, sauna, and a health room for relaxation, and there's a hairdresser who'll help with grooming.
Staff offers 24-hour supervision and helps with all the usual things-bathing, dressing, moving around, taking medicines, even going in and out of the bath, toileting, and getting clothes on or off, and they're ready to coordinate with doctors, set up care plans, and even drive folks to appointments or spiritual services, run errands, and help keep everybody safe with emergency alert systems. Laundry and housekeeping get done for residents, and they'll help people move in.
The community's set up for people who need assisted living services, including different types of care like Adult Residential Care Home, Level 1 or 2, Expanded, and even some options similar to assisted living facilities or nursing homes, if required, though it mostly supports long-term, non-acute care, so it helps people who need ongoing support but don't need a hospital. Costs are often lower than a full nursing home. Lory's connects with listings for vacancies and stays in the know through an ePaper about care homes.
Lory's is licensed by the state, and is checked by local departments, but they don't take Medicare since they're not certified with the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services. There's a routine for planning care, making things calm and simple for residents, and they offer extras like transportation, hair care, music therapy, animal therapy, and board games, aiming to create a place where people can live simply, eat well, and have support close by.
