Who We Are
Mālama Awa Lanakila Wellness provides personalized in-home caregiving—one-to-one support that keeps clients safe, respected, and cared for at home. Our name—Mālama (to care), Awa (harbor), Lanakila (victory), and Wellness (the balance of body, mind, and spirit in daily life)—honors our family roots (Galvez “victory” + Minato “harbor”) and our mission: A Harbor of Healing, A Heart of Victory. We are actively pursuing Hawaiʻi Department of Health Home Care Agency licensure and will recruit employees only upon licensure. Currently owner-operated, we’re growing a team of caregivers who share our faith, aloha, and commitment to excellence.
