Ilima At Leihano

Understanding the Monthly Costs at 'Ilima

The monthly cost of living at 'Ilima varies based on several factors including the chosen floorplan, the apartment's location within the building, and the resident's care needs. Unique to 'Ilima, we are the only FULLY licensed assisted living facility on the island, ensuring that residents can remain in their chosen apartment without the need to move as their care requirements change. Consequently, the apartment rent remains constant, irrespective of any progression in the resident's care needs.

The only variable cost is the level of care fee, if applicable. This fee adjusts based on the resident's care requirements.

What's Included in the Monthly Rent?

The monthly rent encompasses a comprehensive range of services and amenities to ensure a comfortable and convenient living experience for our residents. These include:

• All meals and snacks
• Transportation services
• Weekly housekeeping and linen service
• All utilities
• Premium cable and internet
• A variety of resident activities
• Emergency nurse response system

Rent and Care Fees

Monthly rent for studio apartments ranges from $8100 to $8450, while 1-bedroom apartments are priced between $9500 and $9900. Should your loved one require additional care, a level of care fee will be added to the monthly rent. This fee ranges from $850 per month for level 1 care to $2900 per month for level 4 care, the highest level of care offered. The level of care is determined by the resident's primary care physician (PCP) through a physician report and is based on a point system that assesses the amount of time a registered nurse (RN) or aide needs to spend with the resident each day.
