Hospice Maui Hale
A Home Away from Home
Though most of our services are delivered in the comfort of a patient's own home, we recognize that some individuals may face unique challenges. For those patients, our Hospice Maui Hale offers a comfortable family-oriented environment, reminiscent of home, with sweeping island views. Located across from the Maui Memorial Medical Center, our 5-bedroom hale is supported 24/7 by an expert care team.
Hospice Maui Hale is a Good Choice When ~
Hospital or ICU care is not the best choice for someone’s final days
Symptoms are too difficult to be managed at home
Transition between hospital and home is needed for critically ill patients who need more care
Respite care is needed for up to five days so caregivers can have time to rest, travel, or spend time with other family and friends
Hospice Maui Hale patients have access to all of our hospice services: Physicians, Nurses, Nurse Aides, Social Workers, Chaplains, and trained Volunteers, as well as medicines, supplies, and equipment that may be needed.

Understanding Room & Board Payment Options
Room & Board is an additional cost when hospice services are provided at Hospice Maui Hale, and it is often not covered by insurance, unless the management of difficult symptoms requires a period of “crisis care.”
There are three ways that the room and board costs can be covered:
Insurance:
Our staff will assist you in finding out if your insurance covers room and board. Medicare and most insurance plans for those 65 years old do not cover these costs.
Self-Pay:
Typically, the individual or family pays for room and board via credit/debit card, cash, or check. A ten day deposit is required in advance, as the average stay is under two weeks. For stays longer than two weeks, one week’s payment is due in advance for each additional week. If the stay is shorter than paid, we refund the balance at the end.
Financial Assistance:
If payment options for room and board have been exhausted, we offer financial assistance through our Kokua Fund, supported by donations from community members.
To ensure assistance goes to those in need, we have an evaluation process that requires:
Proof of income from all sources
Statements of assets (bank accounts, etc.)
Recent tax returns
Our financial team reviews this information and applies a formula to determine assistance amounts, using a sliding scale that ranges from minimal to full coverage of room and board charges.
Hospice Maui seeks to balance the financial burden on families with the need to sustain hospice operations. We appreciate your cooperation during the application process.
Each of us deserves to be cared for by those who understand the emotional and spiritual uncertainty that dying can bring.
