The Admissions Process
1. Initial Inquiry Call us at (808) 533-3157 or email info@hkkcc.com to discuss your situation and check availability. We’re happy to answer questions at any stage.
2. Tour the Facility We strongly encourage an in-person visit. You’ll meet staff, see the rooms and common areas, and get a feel for the daily rhythm of life here. Tours can be arranged Monday–Friday, 9 AM–6 PM; Saturday–Sunday, 10 AM–4 PM.
3. Care Assessment A member of our care team will meet with the prospective resident and family to assess care needs, health history, and personal preferences. This determines the appropriate care level and final rate.
4. Admission Agreement We’ll review all terms, care plan details, and financial arrangements together. We encourage families to ask questions and take the time they need before signing.
5. Move-In Our staff assists with the transition to make move-in day as comfortable as possible — for the resident and for the family.
