| Assisted living | $12,096 | $6,200 | 32% |

Licensing for Hawaii Home Care Agencies
Hawaii rules for non-medical home care agencies are mixed; some services need a license and others do not. Hawaii Department of Health, Office of Health Care Assurance can confirm. Either way, ask for insurance, bonding and background checks.
Agencies that employ caregivers carry the payroll and injury coverage; hiring privately shifts that to your family.
