Life Care Center of Kona

This facility is dangerously understaffed. My mother was admitted needing critical care, with limited use of her hands, feet, and legs. We were assured that physical therapy and critical care would be provided to address these specific needs. However, during multiple visits, we experienced significant delays in response times. On numerous occasions, it took over an hour for anyone to respond after my mother pressed the call button. While some of the issues can be attributed to the severe understaffing of nurses and CNAs, there were also instances where the competency of a few staff members was questionable, and their ability to provide care for critically ill patients was concerning. The administration seems to prioritize financial gain over patient care. Despite the obvious staffing sho

My father, age 96, was a rehab patient here for 3 1/2 weeks following surgery for a broken leg. We could not have asked for a better place. The staff, without exception, was outstanding! The physical and occupational therapists were first rate, the nurses were attentive and the aides were over the top kind and caring. The building is clean and comfortable, the environment bright and cheerful. There are multiple dining areas and places to sit outside where residents can enjoy the sun and the ocean views. I highly recommend.

My husband spent six weeks at LCCK, recovering from a near-fatal stroke. He received excellent, personalized care, and the speech, physical and occupational therapists were absolutely phenomenal. They worked with him steadily, setting and achieving goals that were well beyond expectations. We are especially grateful to the speech therapists, Lea and Alana, for their patient, persistent, caring and creative work. By the end of his stay, it seemed like everyone knew him - from the laundry lady to the chef - and all cheered his progress. Thanks to them, he is 90% his old self - walking, talking, driving, enjoying time with friends, and going back to work. I had several meals with him and the food was pretty good! You can buy a meal ticket for $3 at the business office. There was a special p

We live in Kailua Kona Area....My Dad was approved and we sent 2 request for Him to go to Life Care Center for long term care as He couldn't walk and is 89.. He was rejected TWICE!

My mother stayed here for 5 days after a horseback riding accident. She greatly appreciated the staff and rehabilitation care she received while there.
