I have been here over 3 years and it feels like home. I love my bright and roomy apartment, meals are delicious and nutritious, staff are kind, and residents are friendly. Once the grounds are once again irrigated<br>and activities restated, it will be even better.

When we first began looking for an independent living community for our parents here on Maui, we wondered if we'd ever find a place that truly felt like home. Kalama Heights has exceeded every expectation we had.<br><br>From the moment you arrive, the stunning entrance waterfall welcomes you with a sense of peace and beauty that sets the tone for everything that follows. The grounds are amazing, creating an atmosphere that feels more like a Kihei resort than a care facility. But it's the authentic island spirit woven throughout the community that makes Kalama Heights truly special.<br><br>The staff embody the genuine aloha spirit in everything they do. Their warmth and friendliness aren't just professional courtesy—they genuinely care for each resident as family. This caring approach extends to every aspect of life at Kalama Heights, from the exceptional dining experiences to the thoughtful daily interactions that make our parents feel valued and at home.<br><br>What has been most remarkable is watching our parents thrive in ways we never imagined possible. The combination of the onsite physical therapy facility and the dedicated third-party care team has given them the support they need to maintain their independence far longer than we ever dreamed. They're not just surviving—they're flourishing.<br><br>Their beautiful apartment has become their sanctuary, and they spend countless hours on their lanai, taking in the island breezes and feeling grateful for this chapter of their lives. As their children, seeing them so content and well-cared for brings us immeasurable peace of mind.<br><br>Kalama Heights isn't just where our parents live—it's where they've found a community, maintained their dignity, and continue to enjoy life to the fullest. We couldn't have asked for anything more perfect for them.

I love living at Kalama Heights community here in Kihei on Maui!<br>I retired and made a point of securing a “forever home” to live out my retirement years in the warm sun and close to the beach .The Aloha life on island is great for unwinding, relaxing and renewing.<br>There are plenty of amazing cultural sites and events to enjoy very near.<br>There are several floor plans available ranging from studios to a few 2bed/2bath units to suit many different needs.<br>There is a newly renovated full size swimming pool and hot tub for exercises or to just enjoy!<br>The best part? No cooking! Widely diverse meals with multiple options for your personal tastes are served 3 times a day. Salad and fresh rolls daily for midday meal and who wouldn’t enjoy freshly made soups everyday to start your nightly meal. Great homemade desserts are provided daily and sometimes Roselani ice cream !<br>And housekeeping is free! Weekly light cleaning, vacuuming, fresh towels are provided.its the best feeling to walk into a clean apartment!<br>Washer/dryers are provided for free self laundry option Some floor plans have in unit washer and dryers<br>Mostly the staff are so friendly and helpful!<br>The community is a beautiful place to enjoy and call home

This facility has been a blessing to our family. About a year ago I contacted Tim from Kalama Heights about an interest in this facility. Tim invited my husband and I to come visit and gave a tour. Knowing this would be a future decision to be made for my husbands step father Larry. We were totally impressed with the facility and Tim's professional and insight views. He kept in contact with me on a regular basis through email through out the last year. His constant contact was so appreciated. Now here we are and we have made it full circle. My husbands step father is now a resident and loves it there. Manny and Lisa also were a big part in making Larry's transition so smooth. A positive experience all the way around at Kalama Heights. A BIG Thank you to all at Kalama Heights.
