Skilled Home Health Services in Honolulu

Licensed Medical Care Delivered Where Your Loved One Feels Most at Ease, Home

Why Families Choose Our Home Health Team?

1. A Fully Licensed Clinical Team

Each discipline within our Home Health Services, nursing, physical therapy, occupational therapy, and speech therapy, is delivered by clinicians holding active state licensure and working strictly within physician-ordered treatment plans.

2. One Point of Contact, Many Specialties

Rather than coordinating separate providers, families working with Mālama Maika’i can access multiple home health disciplines through a single, familiar agency that already understands their loved one’s history and preferences.

3. Built on Hawai’i Department of Health Oversight

As a provider licensed and monitored by the State of Hawai’i Department of Health, we operate under the same regulatory standards families would expect from any clinical care setting, with HIPAA-compliant handling of every client’s health information.

4. Rooted in the Community We Serve

Mālama Maika’i has spent years building relationships with Honolulu’s families, from Waikiki to Mililani to Windward Oahu. That same local commitment now extends into our clinical services, with a team that understands the pace, values, and needs of Hawai’i’s kupuna.

Introducing Home Health Services at Mālama Maika’i

For years, families across Honolulu have trusted Mālama Maika’i for compassionate, non-medical home care. Now, we’re able to offer something more: licensed, physician-ordered Home Health Services delivered by skilled clinicians directly in your loved one’s home.

Home Health is different from our traditional care services. Where Home Care focuses on everyday support like bathing, meals, and companionship, Home Health involves medically necessary services ordered by a physician and carried out by licensed professionals, nurses and therapists trained to manage recovery, chronic conditions, and rehabilitation. It’s the kind of care typically found in a hospital or clinic, brought instead into the comfort of a familiar living room.

Many of our Home Health clients come to us following a hospital discharge, a new diagnosis, or a physician’s recommendation for ongoing skilled care. Whatever the reason, our clinical team works hand-in-hand with your loved one’s doctor to carry out a treatment plan built specifically around their needs.

Signs Your Loved One May Benefit From Home Health Services

A recent discharge from a Honolulu hospital with orders for follow-up nursing or therapy

A new diagnosis (stroke, heart failure, a fracture) that a physician wants monitored at home

A wound, medication regimen, or symptom that needs regular clinical attention

Noticeable decline in mobility, communication, or the ability to manage daily tasks safely

Frequently Asked Questions

Home Health refers to medically necessary, physician-ordered services, like nursing or therapy, delivered by licensed clinicians. Home Care refers to non-medical daily living support, such as bathing, meal prep, or companionship, and does not require a physician’s order.

Yes. All of our Home Health Services, including nursing and therapy, require a physician’s order and are delivered according to a formal care plan developed with your loved one’s doctor.

Yes, many families use both. For example, a client may receive Skilled Nursing visits for wound care while also receiving Home Care support with daily activities like bathing and meal preparation.

Often, yes. Medicare, TRICARE, private insurance, and Hawai’i’s Med-QUEST program may cover physician-ordered Home Health Services delivered through a Medicare-certified home health agency. Our team can help walk you through what applies to your loved one’s specific situation.

That determination is made by your loved one’s physician based on their diagnosis and health needs. We’re happy to help coordinate with their doctor to identify the right combination of services.

Once we receive a physician’s order and complete an initial assessment, our team works to begin services promptly, particularly for clients transitioning home after a hospital stay.

We prioritize consistency in clinician assignments whenever it’s clinically possible, across nursing, therapy, or both, so your loved one isn’t meeting a new face at every visit.

Not necessarily. Medicare covers skilled maintenance care aimed at preventing decline, not only care tied to a full recovery. This applies across nursing and all three therapy disciplines.
