Palolo Chinese Home Description
In 1896, a group of visionary community leaders saw the need to take care of Chinese immigrant men who had nowhere to turn after the closure of the plantations. They formed Palolo Chinese Home. That same spirit of caring and commitment to reach out to others continues today.
The Chinese believed in the concept of “filial piety,” a deep sense of caring for elder family members. Palolo Chinese Home has carried on that tradition for more than a century and serves all of Hawaii. Palolo Chinese Home is now a preferred, premier provider of long term care among Hawaii’s families, serving men and women of all ethnicities.
Palolo Chinese Home specializes in serving elders with no age minimums or limits. Our nursing staff starts with an assessment of all prospective residents to determine their needs. Admission is based on functional abilities and nursing care needs.
