Reviews

Residents and their families say:

This community has received high praise for its exceptional care, especially for veterans. Many reviewers highlighted the staff's dedication and caring nature, noting that both residents and their families feel respected and well-attended to. The staff is regularly described as friendly, helpful, and imbued with the Aloha spirit, emphasizing teamwork and prioritizing residents' comfort and safety. The community's facilities were also lauded for their beauty and the high level of activities tailored to residents' mental and physical capabilities. The availability of rehabilitative services seven days a week and the close proximity to a hospital were seen as significant advantages, contributing to the overall positive experiences reported by family members and residents alike. The nursing and rehabilitation teams received special mentions for their compassionate and professional approach, contributing to an atmosphere where residents are happy and their well-being is the main focus.
However, there were concerns regarding the administrative staff, with specific criticisms about the lack of complete information and perceived lapses in communication with visiting personnel and family members. Despite these criticisms, no other specific negative points were repeatedly mentioned, indicating that they might not reflect the majority experience. The positive elements, such as the high staffing levels, excellent resident care, quality of facilities, and a strong sense of community, far outweigh the criticisms, painting a picture of a caring, professional, and welcoming environment for veterans and their spouses.
