What questions should we bring to a tour of One Kalakaua Senior Living?
Use the state data to steer the visit: ask for the full 2026 OHCA report and any plan of correction, and read it before the tour, not after.
- The roster shows the license expiring April 30, 2027; ask whether renewal is complete.
- Ask how the service plan is priced: a flat level-of-care fee, a points system, or a la carte charges for each task.
- If memory loss is part of the picture, ask what dementia training direct-care staff receive and how the building handles exit-seeking.
- If savings may run out, ask whether the facility contracts with any QUEST Integration health plan for assisted living services.
- Ask for the residency contract to take home, including every fee and the notice period for rate increases.
