  • The Plaza at Kaneohe Opens This Summer

    The Plaza at Kaneohe, The Plaza Assisted Living’s sixth location, is undergoing construction with an anticipated opening in Summer 2019. In line with its other locations, The Plaza at Kaneohe embraces the concept of familiar faces in familiar neighborhoods, believing that people want to reside in a community that they grew up in, raised their kids, or where their adult children currently live.

    Located at the corner of Alaloa Street and Haiku Street across from Windward Mall, the community will feature spectacular views of Kane‘ohe Bay and the Ko‘olau mountains. Its residents will also have convenient access to Kane‘ohe’s best restaurants and recreational offerings. The facility itself will have multiple dining rooms and living rooms, a games room, hair salon, coffee bistro and movie theater.

    The Plaza targeted neighborhoods throughout O‘ahu that would be familiar for its residents with communities currently in operation at Punchbowl, Mililani, Moanalua, Pearl City, and Waikiki.

    To learn more about the housing options and the services that will be provided at the new 143-bed senior living community, please use the contact information below.

  • Help us Sew a Lei for Memorial Day!

    Each year the Honolulu Department of Parks and Recreation is honored to help organize the Mayor’s Memorial Day Ceremony at the National Memorial Cemetery of the Pacific, commonly known as “Punchbowl” or Pūowaina. This year the ceremony marks the 70th year under the tutelage of the City and County of Honolulu, and will be held on Monday, May 27, 2019.

    As part of our duty to remember those who gave their lives in service to our country, the City partners with numerous organizations to ensure every single one of the nearly 38,000 graves within Punchbowl is adorned with an American flag and a fresh lei for the ceremony. If you have never experienced this awe-inspiring, uniquely local display of mahalo and aloha, we invite to see it for yourself the morning of Memorial Day.

    But before we can enjoy this remarkable gesture of gratitude, we need your help to make all of those leis. You can contribute to this patriotic cause in several ways:

    • By volunteering your time and lei-making joy at one of our events held island-wide.*
    • By donating plumeria flowers or pre-made leis (22” to 24” in length untied) at designated O‘ahu drop-off locations, including the Honolulu Fire Department stations from 8am–6pm.*
    • By dropping off Ti leaf donations by Monday, May 20 at the Mission Memorial Building Complex located in the Honolulu Civic Center.
