Key Review Excerpts
“In summary, this is the FOUR SEASONS of nursing homes.”
“The nurses in Castle wing took great care of my dad along with the excellent speech/PT/OT team, who all helped my dad to get stronger to return home after 20 days!”
“Maunalani's staff is THE BEST. Everyone is friendly and competent. My dad went there for hospice care pre-covid and he was quite a handful with his dementia. The Maunalani staff taught us how to better deal with him and give him a peaceful end of life.”
