My mother-in-law, who is in her 90's and has severe dementia, has been a resident at Leahi for nearly two years. I am beyond impressed with the care she receives. Before Leahi she was in a family care home where she fell and broke her hip. The family caregiver was not capable of caring for her, so we transferred her to Leahi. I frankly expected her to die soon after her fall, but 21 months later she is alive and doing as well as someone her age and with her diagnosis can do. I credit this to the excellent nursing care she receives. Yes, as pointed out in other reviews, the building is older, but it is sparkling clean, and honestly, I think that the age of the facility may actually add to the comfort level of my 92-year-old mom-in-law more than a sleek modern room would do. She had lost weight at the family care home, and at Leahi she has put it back on with the tasty, well-balanced meals, and the assistance of the nursing staff to eat. In the past she used to pace aimlessly all day, but she is now engaged with others and capable of sitting and joining in group activities, again with the assistance of the staff. Thank you, thank you, thank you, Leahi nursing staff!

The Leahi Nurses and Staff are hard workers. They are very patient, caring and understanding of their clients/residents needs. They are also very friendly and accommodating when visitors come to see their loved ones. This morning I went to visit my father, the nurses and staff all came and sang happy birthday to him and made the start of his day so special, just like family ❤️

I am very pleased with the entire staff nursing and management.Itis a thankless j ob with never endings situations been thrown at the staff. How the cope with the stress on a daily basis,but still being professionals yet also very caring for the patients. I know I would not last a week trying to do their jobs. It gives me some piece of mind knowing my wife is getting the care she needs. Again much Mahalo to the whole staff....Mark durante

I spontaneously went to visit the adult day program today. The care home therapy staff initially & then Rose was so cheerful & friendly in helping me to navigate an impromptu inquiry about the adult day program. The adult day Social worker Shawnee (sp?) was so gracious with her time to enlighten me about the day care program. Overall a warm, cheerful, friendly & caring vibe. Initial Impression. Top Rating. 5 Stars ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
