OUR STORY
Caring for your loved ones is in our blood.
Business partners Justin and Hulali first met in 2020 while working for a local nursing and rehabilitation facility on the Big Island. After years of working together in leadership, the opportunity to form Kokua Healthcare Big Island arose in 2023. Determined to create a better home health system for a community that means so much to the both of them, Justin and Hulali began to create a premier home health company unlike anything else on the Big Island. Kokua Healthcare hopes to continue to build lasting and cherished relationships with the communities and healthcare workers of Hawaii.

People Matter At Kokua Healthcare
People want to live their lives where they feel most comfortable – in their own home. We offer a range of services, from basic companionship to round-the-clock care, that allows seniors and other individuals to remain in their own homes for as long as possible.
I am honored to recommend Kōkua Healthcare Big Island, who provided exceptional care to my father before his passing. His caregiver went above and beyond, consistently demonstrating compassion, patience, and professionalism. Her attentive and gentle approach brought immense comfort to both my father and stepmother during a difficult time, and her dedication was truly unparalleled. She was not only skilled in her nursing duties but also deeply empathetic, creating a supportive environment that brought peace to our family. We feel incredibly fortunate to have had Kokua Healthcare Big Island for my father, and I highly recommend them for any role requiring excellence in healthcare and genuine human connection.
My Dad is a 91 year old military veteran who is very organized and particular about how he likes everything done. We have a wonderful experience with Kokua Healthcare. Dad was initially hesitant to have professional caregivers in his home. . The caregivers they provided have been extremely professional and personable. They were dependable, and always on time. My Dad truly enjoys their company, and the caregiver services they provide. I feel they go above the “call of duty” to truly understand our needs, and customize their service. Their communication is also timely and excellent.
We have been very pleased with our caregiver from Kokua Healthcare Big Island. The progress in my wife’s recovery from her neck surgery has been amazing. She is regaining strength and mobility and doesn’t need to worry about her previous home duties. She is happier and has social interaction while I am at work. I recommend Kokua Healthcare Big Island.
