Palliative care isn’t only for the end of life, and it’s not only for kūpuna. 🌿

Palliative care is for anyone of any age living with a serious illness. From the moment you receive a diagnosis like cancer, you may already qualify. It does not mean you’re dying. It does not mean you can only use these services at the very end. It simply means you deserve support.

Our team helps you make sense of the confusion, coordinates with your providers, answers the questions that come at you fast, and walks beside you at a pace that feels calm and steady.

You shouldn’t have to navigate a serious diagnosis alone. We’re here to support you from the very beginning. 🤍

We built this space to feel like home with cozy seating, thoughtful décor, and a team who welcomes you with warmth the moment you walk in. 💜

You don’t have to face everything alone or wait until things feel overwhelming to ask for help. Whether you just need to talk story, ask questions, or learn what support is available, we’re here to make it easier.

Your care, your comfort, your Kupu Care. 🌺

We get it 🥹 that thought alone can feel scary, confusing, or even heavy. After a diagnosis, there’s so much unknown, and it’s easy to feel like you need to have all the answers before reaching out.

But here’s the truth: you don’t have to. 💜
That’s why we’re here 🫱🏽‍🫲🏾 to talk story, to listen, and to help you understand what support and comfort can look like for you and your ʻohana.

You’re not signing anything, you’re not committing to anything! You’re just giving yourself a chance to learn about your options and feel less alone through it all.

Our intake team is filled with the kindest people who truly want to help. You’re never a burden for calling🫰🏽you’re taking the first step toward peace of mind.

📞 Call us when you’re ready. We’ll walk this next part with you.

24/7 — that’s what community means to us.

We know it can feel scary — that mix of uncertainty and vulnerability when it’s time to make the call or ask for kōkua. 💙

It’s okay to feel all the feelings.

Time and time again, we see the disbelief when ʻohana realize the level of care, support, and aloha that’s truly available. Many can’t believe it’s real — until they experience it for themselves.

Are you ready to be the next ʻohana in disbelief (in the best way)? 🥹 Call us today.
