The Care Center of Honolulu is a skilled nursing facility located on the southeast coast of Oahu in Honolulu, Hawaii. The community provides comprehensive skilled nursing care including IV medications, wound management, and services for acute patients.
The facility operates a specialized respiratory unit dedicated exclusively to residents with tracheotomies who require frequent tracheal suctioning, around-the-clock monitoring, or are ventilator dependent. Since 1987, the center has provided care to ventilator-dependent individuals and treats more respiratory patients than all other skilled nursing facilities combined in the state. The nursing staff receives facility-specific training to care for sub-acute patients with chronic respiratory problems.
The Care Center of Honolulu offers a Rehabilitation Care Program specializing in physical therapy, speech therapy, and occupational therapy. An interdisciplinary team consisting of doctors, licensed nurses, therapists, social workers, activity staff, and registered dietitians develops individualized care plans to maximize each resident's independence and functional recovery. The rehabilitation program works to evaluate and educate residents in order to promote their highest level of function and quality of living.
Residents receive assistance with bathing, dressing, personal hygiene, and grooming. Room accommodations include private, semi-private, or multiple-occupancy options. The facility's staff specialties encompass nursing, social services, dietary, therapeutic care, rehabilitation, and activities, all coordinated to provide a continuum of quality care tailored to each resident's specific needs.
