Licensed in-home care in Hilo, HI: how to compare agencies

11 in-home care agencies serving Hilo, HI hold an active Hawaii Home Care Agency license, as listed in the Hawaii Department of Health public roster dated October 28, 2026. They are shown in alphabetical order. We do not rank them, because no fair public quality data exists for in-home care agencies and we will not invent a score.

In-home care means non-medical help that lets an older adult keep living at home: bathing and dressing, meals, housekeeping, errands, medication reminders and company. It is usually paid for privately, with long-term care insurance, a Medicaid program or VA benefits, not by Medicare. Compare at least three agencies, and ask each whether caregivers are employees, how they are screened, who supervises them, the minimum hours and the hourly rate.

In Hawaii, the median rate for in-home care is $41 an hour, about $3,553 a month for 20 hours a week (CareScout 2025).

The 11 agencies on this list are based in 1 ZIP code; the busiest are 96720 (11 agencies). If Hilo has too few choices for your needs, the closest other cities we list are Wailuku (8 agencies, about 123 miles away), Kailua (3 agencies, about 208 miles away) and Honolulu (49 agencies, about 211 miles away).

Questions Hilo families ask

How many licensed in-home care agencies are there in Hilo?

The state roster dated October 28, 2026 lists 11 agencies in Hilo with an active Hawaii license. Agencies based in nearby towns may also serve Hilo.

How do I choose an in-home care agency in Hilo?

Call at least three. Ask whether caregivers are employees or independent contractors, how they are screened and supervised, the minimum hours and the hourly rate, and what happens when a caregiver is sick. Ask for a written care plan. Our guide to how to check an agency has the full list.

Why are the agencies not ranked?

Medicare rates home health agencies and hospices, so we rank those. There are no public quality ratings for non-medical in-home care, so these agencies are listed A-Z with their state license, and we do not rank or score them.

How do families pay for in-home care in Hilo?

Most pay privately, by the hour. Long-term care insurance, Medicaid waivers and VA benefits can help with bathing help, meals, housekeeping or companionship.

What does "licensed" mean?

The agency holds a license from the state health department. Licensing sets minimum standards and allows the state to inspect and act on complaints, but it does not rate how good the care is.
