Marty’s House is a 2000+ square foot home on 1-acre that serves as a respite house, accessible retreat center, institute and mini intentional community. As the culmination of his life’s work, Marty Mimmack, M.Ed. has opened a facility that welcomes persons with disabilities and/or their personal assistants, family members and other professionals to come, stay, contribute, exchange, visit, teach, learn and enjoy East Hawaii. Filled with inspiration, motivation and innovative solutions, Marty’s House provides a wide range of low-cost or no-cost services, products and programs that support independent living principles and goals while creating solutions that keep people out of long-term care facilities.

Statement of Purpose

Organized to motivate and care for the disabled, seniors, professionals and the community by teaching courses and providing services related to independent/assisted-living, healthcare, adaptive products, physical, transportation, economic, recreational, social and other activities of daily living.

Assisted or Independent Living

Using Co-housing and Intentional Communities models Marty’s House promotes and provides assisted/independent housing and retreat facilities for the disabled and seniors. We believe intentional living is a good way to address the increasing need for “in-home” support. These, often ‘semi-healthcare,’ needs are expanding at an alarming rate. Marty’s House seeks gifts and grants to establish a cooperative village community where responsible, compassionate people demonstrate caring for one another in the areas of food, housing, social activities and transportation in an effort to elevate consciousness and assist government in planning for the future.

WOW !! Marty,
I could have written this myself. You sound so much like me. I have worked with families managing children's disabilities for many years. Founded a non-profit in 1990 very similar to this. I have two grown daughters living with disabilities and 6 grandchildren with disabilities. I have been looking for a community for years. I have visited a few, taking with me my grandson with autism. We were never received well or made to feel comfortable or accepted. I would truly like to come visit your community. I feel I could relate well to anyone involved. I need respite desperately and would love to be a helpful worker there. I would like you to contact me and allow me to phone you. Please email me at recycled_mom@yahoo.com and send your phone contact number. Thanks, Anne

Hi Marty,
Your new place looks nice, I would love to come and be a member staff person.

I was a registered home health care provider in the State of Washington, my skills include commercial driver and small passenger vans, para-transit.

Your new plan seems more feasible and doable.
Time is fleeting and hope to see you soon.
