8 Best Independent Living Communities in Kualapuu, HI

I'm currently a resident at Holiday Kalama Heights. Overall, my experience at this facility has been good. However, what they need most is more staff. I hear from the other residents that have been here longer than me that the quality has gone down after Atria took over ownership of the facility. The management says that they can't find people to work. No one seems happy with the new owners.

Very nice, clean facility. Mom has her own private room with private accessible bath. Max capacity is 18-22 residents. They use a pendant call system when she needs assistance with toileting. Upstairs level has a common area with a large table where one can read, do crafts or just hang out. They try their best to have some activities going on but I think they could try to do more to keep some the residents active and not just stay in their rooms. They try to have an outing at least once a week. They should reconsider having at least two choices for meals as not everyone likes the same food. This is one of the better care home facilities in our opinion.

I moved into the Ivy Senior Living on [date removed]. I had just been released from the hospital and was a little skepticle about leaving my house of 50+ years. But after seeing the monthly costs decline (electricity, water, food, no maid services, no grass/maintenance), I became spoiled. Ivy provides 3 meals a day, weekly maid service, and vans which can scheduled for DRs, Dentists, shopping (for things you don’t really need but want). There are 30+ events that you can attend (or not, your choice). Field trips to several beaches , Waikiki , restaurants, and more . For some of us that realize that we may have only 15 or 20 years left, we can attend the chapel to attend a sermon or weekly Bible study. I attend as a resident and an occasional old deacon comment. The Ivy is not the home that I raised my children but is now my Ohana. My adult children and old church friends are all welcome to attend. There are still so many things and new friends to enjoy here at the Ivy.
