Description Founded in 1896, Palolo Chinese Home has grown from a community effort to care for immigrant elders into one of Hawai‘i’s premier providers of long-term care. Rooted in the tradition of filial piety and compassion, we proudly serve seniors of all ethnicities with dignity, respect, and excellence. Guided by our mission to educate, support, and care for seniors and their families, our dedicated team provides a continuum of quality care in a culturally sensitive, family-like environment.
The Arcadia Family of Companies offers a full spectrum of senior living options. Our continuum of care includes lifetime residency in our Life Plan Communities, aging in place in your home, home health services, and adult day care and day health services.
Maunalani Nursing and Rehabilitation Center is the culmination of a dream and a need in the community.
Many years ago, Ethelwyn A. Castle, a daughter of Hawaii, bought nine and a half acres of land atop Maunalani Heights and there built her home. In her will she made provisions that, subject to the life tenures of several relatives, her home would become a residence for seniors in need of comfort and care. A part of her home still exists as part of our facility today.
In January 6, 1950, with the diligence of prominent Honolulu community leaders, Maunalani opened its doors and welcomed its first residents. Maunalani’s first administrator was the late Elaine P. Johnson who set the pace for what Maunalani is today.
Over the years, Maunalani has experienced a series of additions and renovations to the original Castle family residence. Its name has also evolved from Maunalani Convalescent Nursing Home to Maunalani Hospital to finally, the present Maunalani Nursing and Rehabilitation Center in March of 1998.
