About Oahu Care Facility

Oahu Care Facility is a skilled and intermediate nursing home in Honolulu, Hawaii, located at 1808 S Beretania Street in lower Makiki. The facility has served Hawaii families for nearly 30 years, providing round-the-clock nursing care, post-acute rehabilitation, and physical therapy for residents from across Oahu.

The community offers short-term rehabilitation after hospitalization as well as long-term nursing care for residents with chronic conditions or those for whom home is no longer a safe option. Licensed nursing staff provide 24/7 care, with certified nursing assistants who know residents by name. Therapy services are aligned with physician goals and focus on mobility, strength, transfers, and daily living skills to support residents in returning home when possible. Physical therapy includes one-on-one sessions for balance, gait, pain strategies, and safe equipment use, paced to each person's ability and comfort.

An interdisciplinary team coordinates nursing, therapy, activities, and dining to ensure consistent, personalized care. Care plans reflect resident preferences, cultural needs, and family input rather than standardized routines. The facility emphasizes clear communication with families and outside providers, with therapy integration and interdisciplinary rounds supporting coordinated care. Staff maintain open communication about care changes and celebrate therapy milestones with residents and families.

The facility is conveniently located near downtown Honolulu in lower Makiki, offering easy access for families coming from downtown, Manoa, Kaimuki, and nearby neighborhoods.

The facility's approach emphasizes that every service connects to outcomes of dignity, comfort, and measurable progress. Staff answer questions plainly, encourage visits, and help families stay aligned in their care decisions.

They are great with the patients and very interactive with them. They keep their patients very engaged when the patients are able to.

I watched my Mother-In-Law decline rapidly in this facility. Her Primary Care physician had very specific care instructions that were not adhered to. Fortunately due to their negligence she was removed by ambulance and transferred to a different facility on Liliha where she stabilized. Never once did my questions/concerns get addressed. This was during Covid thus they could get away with lack of accountability. This experience was beyond frightful. The isolation was unprofessional, the care questionable.

I've been here for several weeks, recovering from serious surgery. The staff is excellent. From custodial personnel through every tier of the medical staff from nurses aides, CNAs, RNs, physical therapy, & doctors to office staff everyone has been unfailingly kind and compassionate. The only reason I didn't give 5 stars is the fact that the coffee is instant decaf. What can I say? I'm from Hawai'i Island and used to Kona coffee.
