Director of Community Services
About The Position
For more than a century, Palolo Chinese Home has been a place where compassion meets culture, where seniors of all backgrounds are cared for with dignity, respect, and genuine aloha. We’re not just a care provider – we’re a community, a legacy, and a family. Now, we’re looking for a leader who shares that spirit. As our Director of Community Services, you’ll guide and grow the programs that help Hawai’i’s seniors thrive at home – Adult Day Care, Home Care, and Adult Residential Care Home (ARCH) services.

Someone who wants to build programs that make a real difference in real lives. If that sounds like you, we’d love to meet you.
