My dad has only been at Kina Ole for a few weeks but it is hard to imagine him getting better care anywhere else. The staff has spent countless hours getting to know him and his likes/dislikes-even asking for him to teach them words in Chinese so he will feel more comfortable. The small home setting has made his transition to assisted living from living alone a lot easier! It feels more like a home than assisted living.
