Vivia Cares, Inc. is a Hawaii based company founded by Ho‘okele Home Care (Ho‘okele) and is dedicated to the expansion of the technology enabled neighborhood model called Vivia that was developed and pioneered first in Honolulu and has helped Hawaii’s seniors flourish at home affordably since 2019. Ho’okele has been serving Hawai‘i’s seniors on Oahu since 2006 and Maui since 2014.
Ho‘okele, which means “navigator” in Hawaiian, first began helping seniors and their families navigate the complicated eldercare system as RN health navigators and geriatric care managers. In 2010, Ho‘okele expanded its services to include home care services and is now one of the state’s largest licensed home care agencies serving Oahu and Maui.
Ho‘okele developed its own proprietary software platform with mobile app that powers its compassionate caregivers to provide efficient quality home care services. Ho‘okele’s family of companies now operate collectively as “Vivia Cares” whose mission is to transform home care with innovative models of in-home services paired with technologies to make it feasible for many seniors to live independently and have access to personalized, consistent, and coordinated services at home.
