Clarence Tc Ching Villas At St Francis sits in Honolulu on the St. Francis Kūpuna Village grounds and is a skilled nursing facility with 163 certified beds offering short-stay, long-stay, and rehabilitation care, where people can get help after a hospital visit or if they need more clinical and rehab support before going back home or moving to another care facility, and there's services for assisted living, nursing care, and memory care designed for folks with Alzheimer's or dementia. The Villas is owned by Liliha Kupuna Snf LLC, a for-profit company, and is not a part of a Continuing Care Retirement Community, even though it does provide several types of care under one roof, along with multiple studio room layouts, private bathrooms, and in-room amenities like cable TV, kitchenettes, phones, air conditioning, and Wi-Fi, and if needed, you can request a furnished room.
The community received a 4-star rating as a nursing home from the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, with a 5 out of 5 in both resident care and long-stay quality, a 4 in short-stay care, and a top 5 rating in staffing quality, which means nurse aides average 2 hours and 46 minutes a day with residents, licensed nurses give about 4 hours and 45 minutes, and physical therapists offer roughly 14 minutes per person daily, though over the last three years, they did have a federal fine totaling $11,408. There are resident and family councils in place, so everyone has a say; Medicaid and Medicare are accepted, and staff provides aid with medication, bathing, dressing, transfers, and checks in around the clock, with a 12-16 hour on-site nursing schedule.
Community features include a fitness room, garden, library, movie theater, game and activity rooms, and outdoor walking paths, while daily events and programs support social engagement, and there is a professional chef preparing restaurant-style meals with special diets accommodated, and all-day dining is available. The Villas makes safety a priority with emergency alert systems, housekeeping, and laundry support, plus transportation and parking services. Fire safety inspections go on as required, with the last one on December 16, 2024, resulting in one fire safety citation. The place has a 5.5 out of 10 overall rating, ranking as the 20th highest rated community in Honolulu, and focuses on quality clinical care, with a multi-disciplinary rehab team offering inpatient physical, occupational, and speech therapy for neurological and orthopedic issues. Families can also get support services to help them stay involved with their loved ones.
