Two kinds of assisted living in Honolulu
Both are licensed by Hawaii as assisted living. Larger communities suit people who want social life and on-site services; small homes suit people who do better with quiet, familiar routines, including many people with dementia. Hawaii words these licenses as “Type I Expanded Adult Residential Care Home” (95), “Type I Adult Residential Care Home” (63), “Type II Expanded Adult Residential Care Home” (24).
All 192 licensed assisted living communities in Honolulu
Every assisted living community Hawaii licenses in Honolulu, from state records. Being listed is not a rating: Lilisity scores only communities with verified interviews (the Top Communities). Communities with verified testimonials are listed first, then by size.

How much does assisted living cost in Honolulu?
The median cost of assisted living in Hawaii is $12,096 a month ($145,152 a year), above the national median of $6,200. That’s CareScout’s 2025 survey, collected July to November 2025. If more care is needed: nursing home costs in Hawaii, with CareScout medians and the private-pay rates nursing homes publish. Small residential homes often cost less than larger communities, though care needs, room type and services move the price more than the building does.
Medicare does not pay for assisted living. People pay from savings and income, long-term care insurance, or VA Aid and Attendance (up to $29,093 a year for a veteran in 2026), and some qualify for Medicaid help with care costs at communities that accept it. Who actually pays for long-term care.

Check a Honolulu community’s license

The median cost of assisted living in Hawaii is $12,096 a month (CareScout 2025), compared with $6,200 nationally. Prices vary with the room, the level of care and the community, so ask each one for its current rate sheet. The table on this page shows each community's published price or a Lilisity estimate where we have one, and our free guide lists the questions to ask about cost.
Medicaid doesn't pay rent or meals in assisted living. Most states offer a Medicaid waiver or program that can pay for care services at participating communities for people who qualify; not every community takes it, so ask each one. Hawaii's Medicaid agency or your local Area Agency on Aging can tell you what's available.
