Senior care homes on Kauaʻi

Senior care homes on Kauaʻi (Kauai)

Looking for a care home, adult residential care home (ARCH), or assisted living for your mom or dad on Kauai? Hale Kōkua introduces your family to licensed homes that may fit. After that, the home takes it from there.

Kauaʻi has only a small number of licensed care homes on the State lists.

We check the lists and tell you plainly what is realistic.

Kauaʻi has few licensed homes on the State lists. We tell you on the first call if there is a bed that fits.

What each kind of home is like

Searching on Kauaʻi

  • With so few homes, we look at every license that could fit, not just one kind.
  • If nothing on Kauaʻi fits right now, we say so. Then we talk about waiting, or a home on another island.

Four steps

How a search works on Kauaʻi

  1. 1

    You tell us about your person

    Use the form or email us. Tell us who your person is, the island, and what a normal day needs.

  2. 2

    We look at licensed homes

    We explain which Hawaii license fits the care you describe. Diet, wheelchair, memory, money, and where family lives help us narrow the list.

  3. 3

    We introduce you to homes

    With your OK, we introduce your family to one or more licensed homes that may fit, and share what you told us.

  4. 4

    The home takes it from there

    You talk with the home, visit, and decide. The home handles admission and care. Our part ends at the introduction.

There is no cost to your family at any step, and no pressure to choose a home.

From the mainland

Moving a parent to Kauaʻi

Flights land at Līhuʻe Airport. Some mainland cities have direct flights, and many connect through Honolulu.

You can start with us by phone or email while you are still on the continent. After we introduce you, you set up visits with the home directly, and someone from the family still meets the home in person before move-in.

Where this list comes from

These homes come from public records of the Hawaii Department of Health, Office of Health Care Assurance (OHCA). The full list of licensed ARCH, expanded ARCH, assisted living, and community care foster family homes comes from the OHCA facilities roster that the State publishes as open data. We check it every day and update this list when it changes.

The monthly ARCH vacancy report only covers homes that reported to the State that month, and openings change quickly. We do not post openings. We can ask a home about openings when we introduce you.

Hale Kōkua does not own, run, or license these homes. Foster family homes are private family homes, so we list them by town and license number only, never by the caregiver's name. Confirm any license with the State Licensing Section at (808) 692-7400. Last checked October 22, 2026.
