Lowest-rated nursing homes in Honolulu, HI

All states › Hawaii › Honolulu › Lowest rated

These are the 5 nursing homes in Honolulu that CMS rates lowest, out of 18. Homes CMS lists as Special Focus Facilities come first, then Special Focus candidates, then the lowest overall star ratings; ties go to homes with the CMS abuse icon, a lower health inspection rating and more fines. The order comes from CMS's own ratings and flags, not from us; people often search for these as the worst-rated nursing homes in Honolulu. In Honolulu, CMS rates 1 home 1 star, lists 1 as a Special Focus Facility and 4 as candidates.

Ratings come from CMS and are updated monthly; these are from October 2026. A star rating summarizes a lot, so read each home's inspection history and visit before you decide.

How this list works

Where do the ratings come from?
From CMS's Nursing Home Care Compare (the same data as Medicare.gov), October 2026. The overall rating combines health inspections, staffing and quality measures; inspections weigh the most.
What are the Special Focus Facility list and the abuse icon?
CMS lists this nursing home as a Special Focus Facility: homes "included in a special program to stimulate improvements in their quality of care" because of a persistent record of serious problems. CMS marks this nursing home with its abuse icon. CMS shows the icon for homes with abuse citations in recent inspections: an abuse citation where residents were harmed (scope and severity G or higher) within the past year, or abuse citations at D or higher (potential for harm) in each of the last two years.
Is this a recommendation?
No. It is a ranking of CMS's published ratings. Ratings can change every month, and a home's rating may not reflect a recent change in ownership or staff. Visit, ask questions and read the inspection reports.
