I spoke to Taylor Lee from Home Instead first & she was SO helpful & friendly, even suggesting some helpful questions I may want to ask from other providers. I decided not to bother looking any further & did not regret my decision! Taylor & all the care professionals who helped my mom were wonderful & I didn't have to worry at all! They took her on errands to the grocery store & kept her company; Patty even brought her some homemade meals to share, which she totally loved! I can't thank Taylor & all the caregivers enough; thank you all for putting my mind at ease & taking such great care of my mom!

We have been using the good people of Home Instead Windward for home care and support services for…read morenearly four months now, and we are very happy and satisfied with the quality of service & support provided. In my opinion, the company, Home Instead Windward, is a quality service organization with a high level of competence and dedication to personal home care services in Windward Oahu. We have had a Home Instead Windward person, Ariana, come to our home weekly and provide certain services, such as food preparation, personal care for my wife (diagnosed with mild dementia), and light house work. Ariana is a social person, and is a calming influence with my wife, and she shows a clear capability for positive social interaction. Ariana has an easy-going personality and is cool and unruffled if there should be any "incident." She works well with other people, and, Ariana is also a Wonderful Cook!. We like Home Instead Windward. E. R. Miller, Kailua, Hi, April 18, 2025.

I am so happy and a small weight has been lifted off my shoulders. We live so far I worry and dad refuses to move in with us.

They were very attentive and caring, yet professional. The home itself was warm and welcoming with a beautiful backyard set-up for visitors to enjoy. While it may not be the most modern home, it is filled with the most important thing...love and compassion. Even though there was a constant flow of family and friends who came to say their final good-byes to my sister, at no time did the staff make us feel like we were intrusive or disruptive. Their care of my sister during her last days and especially after she passed, were phenomenal. They gave us the space and time to grieve, all the while assuring us that they were there if we needed them. My hope and prayer is that no family will ever have to utilize a hospice care, but if they did, I highly recommend Navian Hawaii. My family and I are extremely grateful for the loving care given to my sister.

Hospice Hawaii has a home in Kailua. The house is a nursing home. It is a one story home with…read morefive bedrooms, three bathrooms, laundry room, kitchen, living room, and family room. The backyard of the hospice house has a small garden area, a patio, and a swimming pool. The home has four nurses rotating 24/7, a housekeeper, and a cook. All staff members work for Hospice Hawaii. The bedrooms are divided into two residential rooms and three respite rooms. The residential rooms are for patients who needs long term care by the nurses. The respite rooms are for patients who are staying for five nights for free (got to give the caregivers a break). After the fifth night it is $100 a day. Each bedroom consist of a hospital bed, a recliner, small dresser, and television. Emergency oxygen tanks are available in each room in case the electric goes out. There are few portable oxygen machines for the patient to use in the family room or the bedroom. Two of the bathrooms are reserved for the patients while the third bathroom is for staff members and visitors. The patient bathroom is equipped with handicap railings near the toilet and the shower. There are commode toilets available for patients who are unable to use the bathroom. The living room is more like a little lobby area with a beverage station for guests, sign in log for visitors and volunteers, as well as a round two seater table. The family room has a couch, a recliner, small table, and a entertainment shelf with books, DVDs, and a television. My pops stayed at the Hospice Hawaii Kailua house for five nights. Hospice Hawaii made transportation available through ABC Transportation with a pickup in Waianae and drop off in Kailua. He arrived there on Tuesday August 29, 2017. After his five nights stay in Kailua then he got transported back to Waianae from Alii Transportation. The nurses that I have met personally like Rolyn and Yvonne are very friendly and outgoing. They joked around with my pops while he was in Kailua. My pops has his own opinions about the other nurses whom I did not meet. Guests are able to visit their loved ones as long as the noise is down. The nursing home is a peaceful environment so the other patients are able to relax and sleep when needed. There was a big difference in weather for my pops to experience. Waianae tends to be hot. Kailua was raining on Tuesday (8/29/2017) while all other days was cooler and comfortable weather. Family members are able to call their loved ones who are staying at the hospice house. Phone calls need to be limited and the nurses normally answers the phone. A loved one may refuse the call especially if he/she is too tired to talk. 52/100

Last year for my youngest's birthday we did almost nothing. She didn't ask for anything besides a…read morecake. And we could barely understand that request. But THIS year we had the whole extended family over, Pokemon balloons, an oreo ice cream cake, BBQ chicken, pokeballs and pokemon plushes in wrapping paper, AND we went to Windward Mall earlier in the day so she could ride the "unicorn" and eat lunch at Panda's. Some of you Pinterest-y mommies may find that unimpressive, but in Angela's world that is a serious celebration. Why the change? Well, last year we couldn't understand what she was saying. Also, she didn't ask for anything. We're not even sure she was all that aware of her birthday and she didn't seem to harbor any sort of expectations for it, which compelled us to more ardently seek out medical advice. She was labeled speech delayed, did not qualify for Special-ed (just BARELY missed it, so super comforting) and we were left with the option of paying $100/hour for speech therapists. UNTIL, my gorgeous angel of a friend told me about Scottish Rite and our lives changed forever. My daughter has been attending the preschool since March and she LOVES it. She wakes up everyday absolutely excited about attending and I think she actually dislikes the weekend, which is mind boggling. Class is only from 9-11:30 am, but I think it is the perfect amount of time for her. She has one-on-one speech sessions every week and the preschool consists of only ten students all led by a host of highly qualified speech therapists. She wouldn't sit through a book before and now she loves them. She is always singing songs and chattering about things she learned in school. She draws pictures and writes her name and looks for her favorite books from class in the library and finally mastered using the toilet front-wards. She can stand in line and cooperate and share and take turns and put things away and uses SENTENCES. Sentences, people. She can also make a bunch of requests for her birthday :) These are all things she didn't really do. Before Scottish Rite I was the only one who could understand her. She couldn't even consistently answer "how old are you" and "what is your name", despite our efforts to teach her. She still has a ways to go, but the change has been amazing and we are so very very thankful. Thank you Scottish Rite! You ROCK! Hard. In an educational, speech-y way. Yes.
