87,697 Hawaii Veterans and Their Families
Hawaii is home to 87,697 veterans, 43,864 of them 65 or older, according to the Census Bureau’s American Community Survey (2020–2024). In Hawaii, as everywhere, wartime service counts, not combat, so a veteran who served stateside during Vietnam may still qualify.
How Hawaii Licenses Assisted Living
Hawaii Department of Health, Office of Health Care Assurance (OHCA) licenses assisted living facilities in Hawaii. License categories in Hawaii:
- Assisted Living Facility
- Adult Residential Care Home (Type I and Type II)
- Community Care Foster Family Home
What it means for your family: Hawaii does not have a separate memory care license; dementia care is provided within licensed assisted living and care home settings. One of our 0 Hawaii partners also offers memory care, so a resident whose needs grow may not need to move again.
Inspection reports for Hawaii communities are available through the OHCA licensing page.

Aid & Attendance in Hawaii
The benefit is paid to the Hawaii veteran or surviving spouse, not the community, so it can go toward any assisted living bill. It is not federally taxable.
The family home
Selling or renting a Hawaii home can fund several years of care. Time the sale with the VA claim in mind.
Long-term care insurance
Older policies often pay a daily amount for assisted living in Hawaii. Check the elimination period before move-in.
