Placing our Dad/husband in a live-in Memory Care home was one of the hardest decisions we've faced…read more After careful consideration, we chose Hale Kūʻike Bayside in Kāne'ohe for its beautiful facility, welcoming staff, and promise of top-tier Alzheimer's care. Despite fully disclosing his moderate-stage Alzheimer's symptoms, including restlessness and sleep disturbances, we were given notice less than two weeks after moving him in , that we would need to find a different home for him in the next 30 days. We question whether he was given adequate time by Hale Ku'ike Bayside to adjust to his new environment. Please know that Hale Kūʻike is selective in the Alzheimer's behaviors it's willing to handle. The unexpected discharge, and having to move our Dad a second time, was an emotional challenge for our family.

My single Uncle was happy living in the independent apartment at Kahala Nui. He met and made many good friends there and used the gym/weight room, pool, library, and dining area facilities. Once in awhile we were able to dine in to use his meal credit when I visited him. Great service and wonderful people. As several years has passed, his health was deteriorating and it made it difficult for him to live on his own and was in intermediate to assistant living care. Just recently he was in hospice and hung in for a month. Sad to say he has passed this week. I also had a dear church friend in Hospice on the same floor this year. I'm just impressed by the outstanding service by the Head social worker Jackie and The Assistant Lisa to the Head nurse Chelsea who made my Uncle comfortable and loved while being away from siblings and friends during the Covid Pandemic! They were like family to him to his last remaining days. Thank you for your excellent care and service! I'm sure my Uncle was truly blessed living at Kahala Nui!

From the Villas it was an easy transition to Hale O Meleana by wheelchair through the courtyards. Thankful for the good care person is receiving at Hale O Meleana. Rooms are spacious and individual units with limited kitchen: full size refrigerator, microwave, hotpot... what else does one need? Not much when the delicious meals are provided in the dining room. Coffee and cookies available on self serve basis in the meeting room. Lots of activities for residents. Crafts, games, social events. There is a lovely garden as well as courtyard for those wanting fresh air. Hale O Meleana is a great option for those not ready to transition to long term adult housing which requires down payment (think Craigside, Arcadia, Kahala Nui) but needs temporary assistance. Charges are month to month.

Having to place your loved one in an assisted living facility is one of the most difficult decision…read morefor a family to make. The process is stressful, emotional & can be overwhelming! There are so many options out there & finding a facility that is the right fit for your loved one is so important. Our family had to make that heart wrenching decision to place my dad in an assisted living facility & after looking at many options & visiting many facilities we first placed him in a large facility that was very nice, staff was nice & looked like it had all the bells & whistles...after about 4 weeks & many reasons later we knew that it was not a good fit for him & we needed to move him...he needed a smaller more home like atmosphere with more individual attention. A friend suggested Kina'Ole in Kaneohe & we arranged for a tour with the owner Beth. From the very moment we entered the beautiful gated property we knew this was the place for dad...it was exactly what we were looking for! The grounds are so beautiful & well taken care of...3 separate homes on the property with beautiful trees & flowers everywhere...nice paved walkways & even a few chickens running around with their baby chicks...my dad loved it!! We decided to place him there & it is the best decision ever!!! Dad's house has 8 rooms...each resident has their own large bedroom & private bathroom which we could decorate however we wanted too...so it could feel like home for him...theres a large living room/common area where the residents have their daily activities & delicious home cooked meals & where they can just relax together on their own recliners & watch a movie together & have a snack. There's lots of staff to help out & to care for dad & all the residents...the entire staff at Kina'Ole are amazing!!! They have made the transition so easy for dad & our family & to watch dad immediately feel welcomed, comfortable & relaxed there has been the best feeling in the world!! Dad loves to be outdoors & take walks & the staff will take him outside twice a day for a nice long walk or whenever he'd like one...they truly care for the residents as though they were their own family members! Dad told me that he "feels spoiled" there cause they all so attentive & take such good care of him! I almost cried hearing him say those words because I knew we had found the perfect place for him!!! He is thriving & happy & so are we!!! We now don't have the constant worry we had before...we know that everyone at Kina'Ole makes it their priority to care for dad's physical & emotional well-being...we finally have peace of mind The icing on the cake was last week I got a text message for Wehilani (head nurse in his house) & she sent me pics of dad out & about with his housemates enjoying the gorgeous grounds & having fun with his new friends. She shared with me how his week went...how well he's adjusting, how his appetite has been, how he's been sleeping (great) & just a report of his week Kina'Ole is a hidden gem & our family feels so blessed to now be part of their ohana!

KinaOle has 24 hr caregivers, monthly outings, music therapy with Maria, movement therapy and art therapy. When going into the homes each room is so spacious and has its own private bathroom. The staff are so welcoming and brings Aloha to the front door.

Home is where you make it, and KinaOle felt like home to me. I would recommend everyone to come down and take a tour at KinaOle Estates.

On Christmas Day when I visited my brother who was under hospice care, I gave a $5,235 check dated Jan 1st for his month of January stay. Vivian knew my brother was on death's door the week after Xmas and expected to die any day before the New Year. When he passed away I sent a message to Vivian advising her in advance that I would cancel the check, with no reply from Vivian. But when I saw it had not been cashed in January, I withdrew money from the account. But unknown to me, she had already cashed his check on December 28th, even though it was dated 1/1/2023. Again, she knew my brother was dying and expected to die any day before the New Year, yet she stole the $5,235,00 from this decorated retired 20 year veteran. Beware! Nonetheless, the hired caregivers were remarkably capable and caring to patients. Too bad can't say the same for the owner.
