An assisted living license in Hawaii is a different thing from a care home license: the building must offer private apartment units of at least 220 square feet with a bathroom, refrigerator and a sink, staff on site around the clock, three meals a day and a service plan written with each resident before move-in.
The roster shows the license running for about 6 more months; Hawaii assisted living licenses run for at least two years, and renewal follows an inspection.

What questions should we bring to a tour of Pohai Nani Good Samaritan?
Begin with what the state's files show: 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 May 31, 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.
- Ask whether any units are set aside for residents with dementia and how exits are secured, since Hawaii has no separate memory care license.
- Ask whether the facility accepts Med-QUEST long-term care members for assisted living services, and how room and board would be billed.
- Ask for the residency contract to take home, including every fee and the notice period for rate increases.
