This year, Wilson Care Group is proud to celebrate our 30th anniversary, marking three decades of helping Hawaiʻi’s kūpuna and families navigate changing care needs with compassion, dignity, and aloha.
We were especially honored to recently join KHON2 to talk about this milestone, the evolution of senior care, and something we have learned time and again over the past 30 years: planning ahead can make all the difference.
From Care at Home to a Place That Feels Like Home
For three decades, Wilson Homecare has helped individuals remain safe, supported, and as independent as possible in the comfort of their own homes.
As the needs of Hawaiʻi families evolved, so did we.
Since 2013, Wilson Senior Living in Kailua has provided another option for families looking for personalized care in a warm residential setting. Residents can enjoy private accommodations, meals and snacks, activities, companionship, medication management, personal care, and 24/7 support.
Whether we are caring for someone in your home or ours, the philosophy remains the same: care for every client and resident like ʻohana.
When Is It Time for More Support?
There is no single answer.
Some kūpuna may continue thriving at home with a little extra assistance, while others may benefit from the around-the-clock support, companionship, activities, and social environment available in senior living.
Families may begin noticing small changes, such as:
- Missed medications
- Difficulty preparing meals
- Falls or increasing safety concerns
- Growing forgetfulness
- Increased isolation
- Difficulty managing everyday personal care
These changes do not necessarily mean a loved one must leave home. They can, however, be signs that it is time to start a conversation.
Don’t Wait for a Crisis to Make a Plan
One of the most important lessons we can share after 30 years of caring for Hawaiʻi families is simple: start talking about care before there is an emergency.
Learn about your options. Ask questions. Talk with your loved one about what matters most to them. Explore what support could help them remain independent and what alternatives are available if their needs change.
Having those conversations early gives families something incredibly valuable: choices.
As Wilson Care Group celebrates this special anniversary, we are grateful for every client, resident, family member, caregiver, nurse, employee, and community partner who has been part of our story.
For 30 years, it has been our honor to care for those who once cared for us. And we look forward to continuing to serve Hawaiʻi’s families for many years to come.
