Respite stays for Pearl City kupuna
Need a few days to travel, recover, or simply rest? Your mom, dad, or spouse can stay at a care home on Oahu, with care during the day and through the night.
A breather for the family caregiver
Caring for a parent every day leaves little room for anything else, and some things can’t be squeezed into an afternoon.
A respite stay means your loved one stays at a care home for a short time while you step away. Families use it for a trip to the mainland, a wedding or graduation, their own surgery and recovery, or a few nights of real sleep.
Before the stay, we learn your loved one’s routine, so the days feel as close to home as possible.
