St. Francis Healthcare System of Hawaii has announced that they would like to convert three floors of the former Liliha hospital into a skilled nursing facility. According to company officials, it would cost approximately $10 million to create a 100-bed unit. A total of $4 million has been already donated by the Clarence T.C. Ching Foundation, who has been a long time supporter of St. Francis.
St. Francis has stated that they will be refocusing their mission to serve the older adult population of Hawaii. According to Health Trends Hawaii, one in five people will be 65 years or older by 2030. St. Francis plans to eventually add independent living, assisted living, and a memory care unit to the Liliha hospital. They also are planning to add skills-strengthening rooms and physical therapy rooms for their patients.
