Kahala Nui is a Senior home and adult day care. Waterfall at the entrance of parking lot and pindar the entry door. Beautiful landscape. Plush tropical decor.

It was all peaches on the independent living side until mom had to move to the assisted living/care side. They used to leave her alone in her room to eat because taking her down to eat “ took too much time.” They charged for laundry and didn’t even bathe her each day. We hired additional care on top of what they were supposed to provide. Then later caved in and moved her elsewhere. Took a huge hit losing all of the monthly fees she had paid into the system for this care, by leaving the facility. Would not recommend.

Kahala Nui is where I would want my kupuna, my elders, to retire to if they needed or wanted. The accommodation, service, and support of individual needs is 5 star plus!

The staff my mother and our family encountered on all levels of care so far have been caring and compassionate. The grounds are well groomed and inviting. Hawaiian aloha at its finest.
