About Hawaii Island Adult Care, INC:

Hawaii Island Adult Care Inc (HIAC) is the leading and only non-residential adult day care on Hawaii Island. It has been our mission to care for kupuna and caregivers since 1976 and we invite you to be a part of fun, hardworking and dynamic team.

Six days a week and on most holidays, HIAC provides a beautiful and safe environment for adults who need some level of daytime supervision – a day time home away from home. This second home is an adult day care for those wanting days filled with friendship, conversation, laughter, inquiry and new experiences, as well as assistance with daily living tasks like going to the bathroom, eating, bathing, grooming etc. Our program is designed to build up confidence and ability in order to maintain an independent lifestyle. Many who attend come to us with Alzheimer’s disease or another forms of dementia.

HIAC provides meals, meaningful activities and general supervision based on a social (vs. medical or institutional) model of care. For participants who would otherwise stay at home alone, social stimulation and recreational activities can improve or maintain physical, emotional and cognitive function. HIAC provides transportation, personal care services, as well as caregiver support. We hold a monthly support group and respite day for caregivers. Respite care enables caregivers to work or have a break from caregiving responsibilities. Respite Day allows caregivers time away from caregiving to get engaged in an art, food, movement or other activity.

Employees of HIAC enjoy an excellent benefit package including medical, generous paid time off, leadership training, tuition assistance to further their career.
