Talk Story with an Advertiser: ‘Ano‘Ano Care Home

Opening their doors in January 2013, ‘Ano‘ano Care Home has provided a unique approach to long-term care in Hawai‘i. With an innovative, holistic style where true integration of western and natural remedies combine with lifestyle changes, ‘Ano‘ano Care Home has been enriching the quality and joy of our kūpuna’s lives ever since.

As their motto is “We give back the gift of time,” they strive to capture meaningful moments for their loved ones to share.

The five-bedroom home was designed from the ground up by a registered nurse who specializes in gerontology. The design incorporates care-giving efficiency with residential comfort. Everything from hand washing sinks in the hallway to wall color is geared towards enhancing healing and well-being. An expansive ocean view coupled with an open design creates a relaxing atmosphere where residents can gather and talk story.

As food is a major part of well being as well as an activity, ‘Ano‘ano Care Home is constantly reviewing and analyzing food preparation and presentation as it relates to the health and happiness of their residents. With their own 2,400 square-foot green house growing herb gardens and fruit trees and a local partner cattle ranch providing grass fed beef, ‘Ano‘ano Care Home produces their own sustainable all natural fresh foods. Residents can participate in growing and gathering their meal of choice.

Social interactions and activities with group therapy, pet therapy, and outings fulfill a busy schedule for their guests. Family and friends are also encouraged to visit often.

The staff includes a professionally trained registered nurse consultant, certified nurse aides, an acupuncturist, and a physical therapy assistant with access to a medical director, and occupational and physical therapists.

Apparently their experiment of integrative care seems to be working. Take one visit to their website and see pictures, videos, and testimonials from residents and family members who have experienced this unique care home and you will know why their reputation is so well deserved.
