The Plaza at Kaneohe

My Mom moved into The Plaza-Kaneohe on April 2024. It was the best thing that we could have done. It is very clean, welcoming, accommodating, and a wonderful community. The whole staff are very kind and compassionate. Elita, the head of activities, runs an amazing program. She is a force of nature and truly cares about each resident. She does by example and has great energy. Elita greats each new resident with much kindness and shows a true interest in each. Elita continually follows up with each resident to make sure they are doing well, are safe, engaged, and is keeping active. Elita hired a great staff to work for her. Jennifer is a glow of light, very outgoing, and has true compassion and empathy for each resident. Keeley is also an integral part of the activity staff. Every day is filled with activities that are engaging, stimulating for the body (different exercise classes), mind, creativity, and socialization. They have activities in the 1st floor activity room which has full windows looking into the garden, waterfall wall, and also has an attached movie theater room. There are also activities planned in the 3rd floor activity room. Elita has made sure that there is something always going on during the day and that the residents are happy.

I have been living at the Plaza Kaneohe for almost two years. I moved in as an Independent resident and enjoyed all the Plaza had to offer. Shortly after moving in I had a medical emergency that required hopitalization and physical therapy. I was out of the community for several weeks. When I returned I was transferred to living in the Assisted Living floor. Because of the phenomenal care that I received from the nursing staff, I was not there for long. Care Aids, nurse and others were so instrumental in making sure that I regained my strength. Before long I was able to move back to the Independent floor and experience total freedom. The staff at The Plaza at Kaneohe are really like my extended family. Anytime I encounter a problem with my room - light bulb needing replacement; help with air conditioner - anything - I can always count of Kalai and Floyd to be there to assist. Michele, one of the cooks in the dining room is not only funny and keeps us on her toes - she does an exceptional job at preparing tasty foods, reminiscent of home cooking. The Aleta and her Activities team -always have something fun on the agenda. It could be ukulele lessons, a Jeopardy tournament, and always fun live music performance. The shuttle driver Laurie is there to take you to medical appointments or a quick run to Long's. Keely runs a great circuit strength training that has been so vital in keeping me strong. I can go on and on - -the bottom line is - -when you are ready to be pampered and cared for - come join us!!

My mom moved to The Plaza at Kaneohe since 2022 and since day one she has been really enjoying it. It is a lovely facility that is so well kept, with beautiful and peaceful indoor and outside spaces. Every time I enter the facility to visit mom, it has a happy and lively atmosphere. My mom enjoys her comfortable room, not having to worry about cleaning anymore, their activities (namely Bingo) and exercises, her weekly sight-seeing or shopping excursions, her haircuts/manicures/pedicures she can conveniently get right there, and the staff. She loves the staff!!! I am very grateful to Aleta (Activity Director) who has been a blessing to my mom, cares for her like her own mom, plans wonderful activities for the residents, helps keep the residents upbeat, is super knowledgeable, and is always extra helpful even though she is extremely busy--you can tell she really cares about the welfare of the residents and facility. She is a godsend! And Jennifer, Kelly and Anna are always so pleasant and helpful. It comforts me that without any convincing, my mom always says she is living life like a queen and living her best life at The Plaza at Kaneohe!

My family and I are beyond grateful for The Plaza at Kane'ohe staff and programs. The hospitality, professionalism, communication, activities, flexibility, empathy, reassurance and understanding have been vital in the transition for our family member to this new and next season of life. I have the utmost confidence that she is well cared for, safe and provided for, especially given her significant memory decline. We are encouraged everyday when we see that she has participated in all the activities (including exercise, games, entertainment, sight-seeing, crafts and more!). She has adjusted well to her new home and has expressed excitement about new friends and activities. She lives in a very clean environment with lots of windows and gorgeous views all around, medication management and laundry services. Thank you to the incredible staff, from the bottom of our hearts, for the excellent care you provide every day. You have become family to us. Mahalo palena 'ole!
