Located on approximately 7-acres of a 26-acre undeveloped parcel of land in Kapolei, the 135,000-SF Daniel K. Akaka State Veterans Home, designed to the Veterans Health Administration’s Community Living Center standards, is a state-of-the-art facility comprised of a pair of two-story residential buildings and a two-story skilled nursing and community building.
The facility incorporates sustainable and energy-efficient technologies including roof overhangs, sunshades, special glazing to reduce solar heat gain, energy efficient air conditioning system, LED lights, occupancy sensors, reclaimed non-potable recycled irrigation water, and native, drought-tolerant plants.
The Veterans Home will provide 120 beds for Hawaii’s Veterans and will offer geriatric mental health/dementia/Alzheimer’s care, rehabilitation therapies, hospice, respite, and adult daycare.
