About Us
Since 1917 more than eighty years ago, Palolo Chinese Home was organized to address homelessness among former Hawaii plantation laborers. Today, Palolo Chinese Home is the premier Adult Residential Care Home provider in the state of Hawaii.

With more than 80 years of tradition and experience behind it, Palolo Chinese Home knows the art, not just the science, of caring for elders. The Home endeavors to add life to years, not just year to life, to these venerable ones, the majority of whom are over 85 years of age. The Home is a private, non-profit organization open to all, regardless of race, religion, sex, or national origin.

Eligibility Requirements Open to men and women regardless of race, religion or national origin, Palolo Chinese Home serves primarily frail elders but has no age minimums or limits. Admission is based on functional abilities and nursing care needs. Each potential resident is assessed individually by a member of the nursing staff.

Applications Procedure Call 808 748 4911 during office hours, Monday to Friday, 8:00 am 4:30pm (Hawaii Standard Time) for a tour of the facility with our Admissions Coordinator or to have materials mailed/emailed to you. Completed application, physical exam report and 2 -- step TB clearance are required to advance the admission process.

Hawaii Neighborhood Outreach to the Aged (HiNOA)

Palolo Chinese Home will also enhance its historical role of providing support for the elderly who continue to live in their own homes in the surrounding community. A new and innovative program called the Hawai'i Neighborhood Outreach to the Aged (HiNOA) will more than double the number of people served by the Home.

A consortium of leaders in long term care in Hawai'i are working to develop a self-sustaining, culturally sensitive delivery system which will provide continuing care to elders in their neighborhood community. The program's first priority is the delivery of services to elders in their homes who may thereafter transition to facilities such as Palolo Chinese Home where Adult Day Care and Overnight Respite Care are available, and eventually, as desired, to Assisted Living and Intermediate/Skilled Nursing Care, including care for those with Alzheimer's and dementia.
