About Respite Care Manoa
A simple way for Oahu families to arrange a short respite stay for a parent or spouse, so the family caregiver can take a real break.
How this works
Respite Care Manoa helps families arrange short respite stays for kupuna at a care home on Oahu. When you call or send the estimate form, your request comes to us. Depending on the dates, the help needed, and availability, a stay may be arranged directly or referred to an independent, qualified care home. When a referral leads to a stay, we may be paid by that care home.
That never changes what you pay: the signed written estimate is the price. Details are on the Referral Marketing Disclosure page.
What you can always ask
Where will they stay?
You will be told which care home before anything is booked.
Is the home licensed?
Care homes in Hawaii are licensed by the state. Ask to see the license, and read the agreement you sign.
What exactly is included?
The dates, the help included, and the price are written down before the stay.
Can we compare?
Of course. Taking time to compare options for someone you love is reasonable.
What we believe about care
Dignity, always
Patience and privacy matter most when someone needs help with personal things.
Their way of doing things
A stay goes better when the day looks like the one they know.
