Hawaii Island Adult Care

Hawaii Island Adult Care (HIAC) is the largest single adult day center in the state and the only East Hawaii facility that addresses client needs by enabling older adults to remain at home, which is conducive to their living dignified and engaged lives. Without HIAC services, clients would have to enter costly overnight facilities with higher than needed levels of service. HIAC’s current adult day care programs are located on the main floor of the old Hilo Memorial Hospital, which was built in 1924 and is in poor condition. In order to continue to provide services, HIAC is partnering with the Hawaii Island Community Development Corporation to construct a new 12,000 square foot Hilo Adult Day Center on the Mohouli Heights Senior Neighborhood site. Over 108 seniors enjoy HIAC’s holistic approach, which promotes self-sufficiency through planned activities and provides much-needed support and respite for caregivers. The new center is scheduled to open in 2017 and will help meet the “aging in place” needs of Big Island residents for the next several decades.
