Vivia Home Care held a traditional Hawaiian blessing during its grand opening at its new Olympia location . This innovative care model, founded in Hawaii, is now available and accessible to seniors and their families throughout Thurston County in the State of Washington.
The April 10th ceremony, in partnership with Thurston County Chamber of Commerce, was infused with unique Hawaii traditions led by Philette Lihue Hamakua-Ling and featured a traditional maile lei untying and food from L&L Hawaiian Barbecue. Local business leaders from the surrounding area near Providence St. Peter Hospital participated in the unique opening, while Ho’okele CEO Dew-Anne Langcaon and Executive Director Racheal Lynch of Olympia, addressed attendees about the importance of making home care more accessible for countless seniors that might otherwise struggle to afford care or find available caregivers to help them live safely at home.
“At Vivia, we are committed to working closely with local communities, caregivers, and healthcare professionals to ensure accessibility and availability of this transformative model of in-home care,” said CEO Dew-Anne Langcaon. “The Washington team honors local Hawaii traditions and culture while sharing the generous spirit of Aloha — a value that’s at the heart of Vivia’s island roots.”
Expansion to Washington
This grand opening milestone also represents a new chapter in delivering compassionate, personalized aging-in-place options for those who wish to maintain their independence in the comfort of their own homes. With this expansion, Vivia brings its innovative service model to seniors and caregivers in the Pacific Northwest along with Aloha Spirit for ‘ohana (family).
The decision to expand Vivia’s innovative home care model from Honolulu to Olympia, Washington, was driven by the increasing demand for consistent and affordable home care services and the company’s dedication to filling this vital need with dedicated and qualified caregiving staff who are attracted to serve seniors at home by full time jobs, meaningful relationships and transportation.
The goal for Vivia Home Care is to create a sustainable, compassionate, and forward-thinking model of home care that adapts to seniors’ evolving needs. Vivia services empowers seniors to maintain their independence, stay connected to their community, and live with dignity and joy.
Unique offerings
Vivia Home Care bridges the gap between the type of care families hope for and what’s actually available in today’s market. The neighborhood-based model encourages that caregivers work in communities to foster trust, familiarity, and meaningful connections with the seniors they serve. Each senior receives a consistent care team — ensuring familiar, friendly faces at every visit. Care visits are tailored to what families need most, with the option for shorter, more frequent visits throughout the day — a flexible alternative to all other home care options.
