Arcadia Retirement Residence sits on three acres of well-kept grounds in Honolulu, surrounded by tall trees and greenery, and it's been taking care of Hawaii's older adults since 1967, which says a lot about its place in the community. The building is a high-rise with views of the nearby beach and has strong security measures like 24-hour staff and building access systems, so folks can feel safe day or night. There's a fitness center, an indoor pool, a gym, arts and crafts rooms, a library, and even a resident store for everyday needs, and walking paths wind through the gardens for anyone who likes to be outdoors. Spiritual needs are taken into account too, with on-site religious services and a chapel, and the atmosphere aims to stay both peaceful and lively-with regular fitness classes, book clubs, art projects, and cultural events planned for residents who like to keep active.
Apartments range from studios to one- and two-bedroom layouts, with big windows, open spaces, and handy additions like individually controlled air conditioning, electric kitchenettes, full refrigerators, and attached bathrooms that have assist bars and emergency call systems, which really come in handy for safety. The Arcadia community also has a barbershop, coffee shop, and a spacious dining room where residents eat three chef-prepared meals a day, and the food planners really work at making meals taste good while keeping them healthy. Staff handle housekeeping and linen services, plus regular maintenance and utilities, so residents can focus less on chores and more on what matters to them.
Arcadia covers several levels of care-independent living is set up for those who are well and want hassle-free living but like having friends around, while assisted living services help when support with daily tasks or medication management becomes important. Nurses are on staff around the clock, and there's medication monitoring and support in emergencies, plus extra help for folks with diabetes or behavioral health needs. For people with Alzheimer's or other forms of dementia, Arcadia's memory care area keeps things calm and easy, using layouts that cut down on confusion and lower the risk of wandering. Skilled nursing and respite care are also here in private or semi-private rooms, including a separate floor for rehab stays staffed with more nurses than usual, so care can adjust as health changes over time.
There's transportation for planned outings to shops, parks, museums, and local places like the Pagoda Floating Restaurant or Brew & Foam for those who want to get off campus now and then. Home care can be arranged through the Arcadia At Home and Arcadia Home Health Services teams, which send trained aides or nurses for everything from checkups to help with daily needs or just some company in the residents' own homes. Physical therapy, social services, and spiritual support round things out. Safety remains important at Arcadia, with an emergency alert system and nursing staff ready day or night. The location is convenient, too, only half a mile from Kapiolani Medical Center for Women & Children, with more health care and cultural sites close by. Arcadia has earned awards for its friendliness and activities, and it's recognized as a quality place for senior living in Hawaii that does its best to make people feel comfortable and respected in whatever stage of aging they're in.
