Yep, we’re in the top five most expensive places to live
in the country, extended nursing care is expensive, and Honolulu is the most

homes, but that’s tempered by the fact that we’re the second worst state for
nurses to practice their profession, and the average daily cost of nursing
homes is fourth-highest.
