HONOLULU (HI Now) - At the Arcadia Family of Companies (AFC), caring for Hawai’i’s kūpuna is more than a job — it’s a mission rooted in love, respect, and a deep sense of purpose. Every day, our team works to enrich the lives of older adults by creating communities where they feel supported, valued, and able to live their best lives.
What sets Arcadia Family of Companies apart is our unwavering commitment to kindness and compassion — what we call The AFC Experience. Here, every employee is treated with the same level of care we give to our residents, clients, and members. From the moment someone joins our team, they become part of an ‘ohana where people look out for one another, celebrate each other’s successes, and find joy in everyday moments. Whether it’s a birthday gift, a holiday surprise, or a simple act of appreciation, we go out of our way to recognize and uplift our team.
Our benefits reflect that same spirit of care. Employees enjoy free daily meals and are paid during their meal breaks — a small but powerful gesture of appreciation. We offer top-tier healthcare, including single coverage at no cost to the employee, as well as generous retirement contributions of 8.5%, paid time off, and minimal-cost parking in town. These offerings aren’t just perks — they’re our way of showing that we’re invested in the well-being of every person who works with us.
What truly stands out is the deep sense of pride and purpose our employees feel. In our most recent engagement survey, staff members overwhelmingly shared that they believe in the mission of AFC, feel part of a team that’s doing meaningful work, and trust in the direction of our leadership. Our President & CEO, Suzie Schulberg, is known for personally connecting with employees — remembering names, making thoughtful phone calls, and stopping by departments with heartfelt thanks and small treats. That level of care resonates throughout the organization.
From nurses and CNAs to dining services, housekeeping, maintenance, and administrative roles, every position at AFC plays a part in delivering comfort, dignity, and joy to those we serve. Our team members often describe their work as personal — one housekeeper shared how she treats residents like her own parents, taking pride in ensuring their spaces are spotless and welcoming. These aren’t just jobs; they’re meaningful connections that turn a workplace into a home.
If you’re looking for more than a career — if you’re looking to make a difference in a place that feels like family — we invite you to explore opportunities with the Arcadia Family of Companies. Visit arcadia.org/careers to learn more.
