PINAOW WACHI INC: "A place to call home"

Pinaow Wachi Inc. opened in 1970. We are a 26-bed facility, including 10 double and 6 single personal care homes. The facility has two wings: one for the rooms and the other for the dining room/lounge area.

One of the rooms is for respite clients, and it is available for temporary stays at the personal care home. Caregivers looking after their loved ones at home need an occasional break, and the respite bed is meant for this purpose.

Residents and families can access a common area for activities, entertainment, or just lounging on comfortable seating. In the yard, we have a gazebo and a place to have campfires and other recreation programs.

Before admission, please contact us for a tour of the facility!
