Hawaii Island Adult Care

Take your kupuna to a place that cares, 561 Kupuna Pl, Hilo, HI 96720.
The Liljestrand House
Step into a piece of mid-century Hawai'i at the Liljestrand House! This beautiful Ossipoff-designed home is tucked away on Tantalus and features 270-degree views of Honolulu and beyond. It was built for Howard and Betty Liljestrand and their four kids. Inside, you will find architectural designs that are unique and functional.
The Liljestrand Foundation team and volunteers now care for the home. You can experience it yourself by booking a tour or attending one of their events at www.liljestrandhouse.org.
