I just felt I need to do something respectful so decided to leave a review. EVERYONE in this facility is very friendly, caring, attending, engaging, knowledgeable, and faithful. The location is beautiful, it’s right in front of the beach and you can actually take your loved ones to the place where you get to see the ocean and have the breeze from them. Food is great too, always made me hungry. Shared room, each room takes up to 4 patients & doesn’t really have views (window just for the sunlight), which was NOT that bad than what I felt in the first day. Actually liked seeing all nurses and aids occasionally coming to see patients - no one is left alone here. There are some private rooms with ocean views; my mom was transferred to there to have some quiet time with us at the end stage. I am grateful that we were able to let our beloved mom spent the last days of her life here. Much Aloha to all team members.
