Key Review Excerpts
“The staff at Maluhia Nursing Home has so much patience, caring in their expertise and always walking the floors. Thank You for all that you do.”
“I recently entrusted my dad's care to Maluhia care home services, and I couldn't be happier with the decision. From the moment we walked in, I felt a sense of reassurance that my dad was in good hands.”
“The residents (most importantly) are clearly loved, and their individual needs are gently and patiently tended to. Employees work together and help one another.”
Total nursing hours are below the EveryPlace reference benchmark, though RN coverage meets its reference level. Ask how aides are staffed for daily tasks such as bathing and mobility.
Reference benchmarks (0.75 RN and 4.1 total nursing hours per resident/day) are comparison targets, not current federal minimum requirements.
