Caring Support for Seniors & Caregivers

The mission of Hale Hau’oli Hawai’i is to promote positive aging through community education programs, adult day care options, and caregiver support. We are a non-profit organization serving the needs of aging seniors and their caregivers.

Hale Hau’oli Hawai’i’s vision is to provide services for the elderly and their caregivers and to act as a resource and referral partner for them.

Community. Activities. Lifestyle.

As the population in Hawaii ages, there is a significant need to provide support services to the elderly and disabled and their caregivers. Census data shows that 16.5% of Hawaii’s population of over 1.4 million is over the age of 65, totaling over 236,000 individuals. One report shows that most families struggle to cover the out-of-pocket costs of long-term care. According to a 2017 report by Genworth Financial, Inc., in Hawaii, the average monthly cost of a Homemaker Health Aide is $4,957 per month, adult day care is $1,650, assisted living is $4,750, and nursing home care is $13,216. Because the culture in Hawaii is to have our seniors age in place, and most caregivers have to continue to work outside of the home, adult day care is the most economical care option for the Kupuna.

Adult Day Care

Hale Hau’oli means “happy place”. Our mission is to provide a safe, welcoming environment for our senior citizens. We offer our participants entertainment, socialization, physical exercise and aloha, stimulating both mind and body. And we provide caregivers with the respite they need to pursue work or other activities while knowing their loved ones are in the care of professionals.

Hale Hau’oli Hawai’i is a non-residential facility that may help delay admission to residential long-term care. For participants who would otherwise stay at home alone, who can no longer manage independently, or who are isolated and lonely, the social stimulation and recreational opportunities may help improve or maintain physical and cognitive function.

MEET THE BOARD

We’re excited to share that we are a grantee for the Hawai‘i Community Foundation’s (@hawaiicommunityfoundation) Kūpuna Aging in Place Program for Elderly Services! The Kūpuna Aging in Place Program is a multi-year grant program supporting organizations that provide a range of supportive services including community-based support services, adult day care & adult day health, and caregiver support services for low- to moderate-income kūpuna (seniors) age 65 and older and their caregivers so that kūpuna in Hawaiʻi can age in place.
