The Alliance of Residential Care Administrators (ARCA) is a non-profit organization and the largest adult residential care home organization in Hawaii since 1986. ARCA has been the pillar and strength of the adult residential care home industry and represents over 300 long term care homes serving 1500+ residents.
ARCA members are owners and caregivers who primarily serve the long-term care needs of the elderly, as well as those in need of skilled nursing (SNF) and intermediate care (ICF), including mentally and/or physically impaired. They provide housing, meals, and personal care in a family-like setting for those who need assistance or are no longer able to perform all the activities of daily living for themselves.

What is a Care Home?
The Adult Residential Care Home (ARCH) concept, creates 24-hour living accommodations for adults (unrelated to the caregiver) to live and maintain their dignity in a safe, loving, caring home and family environment, also referred to as a "social model" of care.
Every ARCH is required to be licensed with the State of Hawaii Department of Health, to provide housing, meals, and personal care in a family setting, for those who need assistance or are no longer able to perform all the activities of daily living for themselves. An ARCH may have up to 5 residents.
