Just after the Lahaina fires a 71 yr old neighbour was feeling unwell and a group of concerned neighbours decided he needed medical attention, called an ambulance, and he was admitted to hospital. Once the Drs diagnosed his medical problem and had him feeling better he was transferred to Hale Makua for rehab physio as he was a fall risk. He has been working very hard at physio daily and is walking and standing well now. I visited him in HM and he was in a double room, with a garden outlook, with access to a shared covered lanai area with dining tables and chairs. HM is airy with open corridors and shared spaces with gardens to sit in and staff present everywhere helping everyone. When I arrived I didn't know where my friend was and a staff member asked me if I needed assistance and walked me to his room chatting pleasantly as we walked. She knew exactly who he was and which room he was in. Kudos to the staff! I'm going in next week and will sit with him at the tables in the lanai area with ice cream. Hale Makua is a fantastic nursing facility for the elderly who cannot look after themselves, with a family feel, open and inviting. I was very impressed. read more

I was not given the luxury of seeing many reviews on yelp about Hale Makua Wailuku . I'm a bit surprised that there were only two reviews. This skilled nursing facility which was the original main hospital in Wailuku has been in business since 1966. But yelpers must not have the need for this type of place. I brought my mother over here who will turn 100 years old in January. She was admitted last week. I must say it was a hard decision to take her there from a retirement home which which was basically an apartment with a dining room and then from our own home. It was the time of life that she needed much more care. I must say that the building is a little dated but overall it is well-maintained. The most important thing is that the staff is exemplary. I was so impressed by the caring and attention they give all of the residence. There is a big game room with television, videos, puzzles games and always a CNA on duty to help all of their clients. There is a beautiful sunroom also used for dining and then the big dining room. The grounds are beautiful. But again it's the people that are so impressive. I was told that there are 10 patients per CNA but it sure does not feel that way. I would highly suggest anyone looking for someplace for their loved one that needs 24 hour care to consider this, I won't call it a facility because it's at home where they want the residence and the families and friends of the residents to all feel like family. They have accomplished that 100%. God bless the staff at Hale Mākua Wailuku read more

What a blessing Hale Makua Wailuku has been to our family! From the time we stepped through the doors into the garden for the first time, we have felt so fortunate to have this be Mom's new home. Mom joined the family there in 2012 and, for 5 years, was surrounded by joy, love & laughter. The compassion they showed during difficult times cannot be described, our gratitude cannot be expressed. Hale Makua Wailuku became a 2nd home to me, and the staff & residents my family, as well. When Mom developed pneumonia & Hospice Maui came in, the staff could not do enough for us. During the final days & hours, we shared hugs & tears, while each of the 'family' said their goodbyes to Mom. Although always sad, Mom's passing was a peaceful & beautiful experience. That would not have been possible had it not been for the Angels at Hale Makua Wailuku. We were so blessed to have had them be part of our lives. Thank you all! God Bless You! J. Jones read more

History

Established in 1947.

Prior to World War II, elderly men of Maui who were in need of residential care not otherwise available to them were housed in a separate building on the grounds of the old Malulani Hospital in Wailuku. At the start of the war, the men were transferred to the Maui Young Buddhist Association Hall because the armed forces needed the hospital facilities. After the war, the Maui Community Council determined that a permanent home for the elderly was needed on Maui. Thus, in 1946, the Hale Makua Board of Trustees was formed. Members of the Young Buddhist Association, interested Council members, and other volunteers built the first 24-bed facility in the Happy Valley area of Wailuku. Individuals, organizations, and business made donations of equipment and furniture. Hale Makua opened in the fall of 1947 under the administration of the Salvation Army.

No one really wants to be here, but sometimes it can't be helped. The facilities are clean, can't really review the nursing staff as I haven't frequented this place enough to do so. There seems to be a bunch of activities to keep the residents busy and entertained. It can also be a very depressing place to even visit, seeing how some people end up. Not sure who the architect of this place was, but I want to slap them and congratulate them at the same time. It's laid out in an "X" shape with nice outdoor courtyards and foliage, but because of poor signage and monotonous colors, you can get totally lost when wandering the halls.

Also, there were a time breakfast or lunch. The helpless patient had mess all over, wet clothes because he was trying to feed himself but he couldn't because he was a stroke patient He couldn't control his hands or stiff. There were no nurse assistant helping. I felt so bad for the helpless patients. One more thing, I saw a stroke patient was defecating no one assisting him, the room was smell bad. It really need an improvement for a really good service, safe and secure home for these helpless patient. I think some staffs here are not doing a great job. They should treat the patients with emotional support instead of saying too negative to the patient. This is so depressing.. Also, I Don't know why the doctor ordered anti seizure medicine to a stroke patient. That medicine is horrible. Everytime the patient take that, it made him worse like restless, hallucinating, acting crazy. This medicine is so bad side effects. NOT GOOD AT ALL!! So when the patient stopped taking it, he was so calm and so with normal life! Thank God!!

We are a local family who recently moved back to Maui. My family consists of my (almost) 94 year…read moreold father, my disabled husband, my special needs 13 year old child, and myself. Upon moving back to Maui I immediately contacted Caring Hands Maui, who agreed to provide services for my dad at 20 hours per week, and for the past 2 months they have been. The services were going great and we were really happy with the agency but very recently things took a drastic turn. My father is a very private man, who is very quiet but very sweet, however, the transition moving back to Maui has been very hard on him at times, and lately personal things have been troubling him. This past week he had been missing his home on Oahu so he was refusing help from the owner of the company, Janet, who was caring for my dad (because of a shortage in company caregivers.) For whatever reason Janet got really annoyed with my dad (did I mention HE'S 94!?), and indirectly told me that they no longer want to provide services. Now mind you...my father didn't say a darn thing to her except that he insisted on doing things by himself, and because of that she said she feels like she's not wanted here. THEN she started accusing me of expecting them to do my laundry and dishes for them when ALL ALONG I repeatedly told them that I don't expect them to do any chores in my home except for what was needed for my dad, but the caregivers continually asked me to give them things to do because they were bored, and they would proceed to wash my laundry daily without me asking. In fact, just yesterday morning Janet walked into my home and offered to wash 3 brand new sheet sets that I just bought. I told her no, that wasn't necessary, and she offered again, and I still said thanks, but not necessary. A couple of hours later she made accusations of me making them do my laundry and dishes. ???? Anyhow, she left after only half her shift. I kindly asked her if they could continue services for the next 2 days (today and tomorrow) because my husband, with a chronic pain disease, had crucial doctor appointments that I needed to take him to on both days and she rudely responded she'd get back with me in the evening. Well...I never heard back from her so I text her this morning and the response that I got back from them was that their other caregiver, (who was scheduled to come here as usual) was in "training" today. They totally left me high and dry knowing that I am juggling my schedule by caring for my dad, taking my husband to various doctor appointments, and caring for my mentally disabled child. Such a disappointment. I learned that although Janet was very kind at times, she also has bad ethical business practices, and the fact that she would do that to us, without any given notice or even talking to us about her concerns prior to "up and leaving" us without any help has left me questioning how she does this for a living? I'm sorry, but not all elderly people are little sweet women who like to go the hair salon to get their hair done. Some just like to be left alone. Today I managed to take my disabled husband to his doctor appointment, while bringing my 94 year old dad and special needs son along with us. It was a struggle and a challenge but we managed to get through it. Thank you Lord! We will try again tomorrow, as my husband has one more very critical doctor appointment to attend. Shame on Caring Hands Maui. As a woman of Christian faith I have forgiven them, but I feel I would be doing a disservice to other families if I didn't share my experience so that they can make the best educated choice in Home Health Care for their loved ones.
