Founded in 1994, Prime Care Services Hawaii is a family-oriented home healthcare agency committed to providing quality care to clients who require skilled services through an interdisciplinary team of competent, motivated healthcare professionals. We serve the island of Oahu.
Evaluation and Services
Patient Care is our priority in the home. We provide comprehensive evaluations in these areas:

When initiating services, we send a registered nurse or physical therapist to complete an evaluation. A Case Manager is assigned to coordinate home care services.
Here are detailed descriptions of our services:
