Thank you for arranging our tour at The Ivy Hawaii Kai.<br>For a retired couple like Jeanne and I living in our own home, this was an eye-opener.<br>The project was impressive, and the tour guide was very knowledgeable and experienced. She showed us around the property and answered all of our questions. The Ivy has all the services and amenities we would need.

From the receptionist, to the guided tour, to the maintenance director… customer service, cleanliness, ease of layout, etc; all were exceptional and well thought out. Beautiful facility and extremely welcoming. My only gripe is that my elderly uncle probably cant afford to stay here as his total income is approximately 1k short of whats needed. Either way, all occupants seemed comfortable and happy to be there, looks to be a great place to spend the last few chapters in a person life.

My mom is a resident at The Ivy (independent living) and the atmosphere and services are wonderful!! Beautiful grounds, nice dining and great housekeeping service. Fun activities and a calm, clean and appealing vibe. The staff working the front desk and the dining room were professional and friendly. Value for cost is excellent!!
