Going to Kupuna Wai Ola and meeting the residents there just brings joy to my heart. A time to share some music, sharing a testimony and having a one on one moment with the residents brings joy to my heart. And most of all an outreach to do along side with some of my church members is such a blessing and I'm honored to be a part of it. Glory be to God always.

Visiting my newly arrived friend at Ka Punawai Ola was very easy from signing in and getting clear directions at the front reception/information area to get to my friend's room. The nurse got my friend a warm blanket when my friend said she was cold and turned up the A/C to a warmer temperature after getting her roommate's approval. I didn't stay very long, but I could tell that the staff was very attentive to my friend's needs, which will help her rehab go much more quickly.

All I know is my mom is a patient there at Ka Punawai Ola and she loves it there. She loves the programs set for the patients and loves her PT. She knows all the nurses by name and only has good things to say about this place. When I visit her, all the staff are super friendly and very professional. I rest easy knowing my mom is definitely in good hands there. Thank you Ka Punawai Ola.
