Key Review Excerpts
“Leahi Recreational Therapy is one of the most engaging programs I've seen. Their lively afternoon session today was buzzing w activities from a competitive Hanafuda playing table to lei making, a featured movie, laundry folding, manicures and even a barber shop corner!”
“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.”
“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 facility meets both EveryPlace staffing reference benchmarks. Higher staffing is generally associated with stronger day-to-day care.
Reference benchmarks (0.75 RN and 4.1 total nursing hours per resident/day) are comparison targets, not current federal minimum requirements.
