Pu‘uwai ‘O Makaha Health Services

The workers are nice but they really don't care for u as much u call for help them take for ever to come help u what u need .. I so much pain see like they don't care at all ..

Compassionate, comprehensive care. I stayed here for 6 weeks for extended medical care in 2013, and received great care from the staff. The facility is beautiful, and had fun activities, and exuberant and attentive nurses. And kitties. Great ferals. Momma kitties with kittens, and relatively tame not skittish or vicious. Beautiful gardens, too. I miss the Golden Buddha shrine, the flowers, and the epic mountain view. Really felt like a rural home. :)

Today marks one year since my brother passed away while in the care of the staff at Puuwai O Makaha. He was admitted to Kaiser on a Wednesday and died that Sunday. By the time the staff at POM felt like he needed medical attention, it was too late. They talk a good game, but they really don’t provide the care your loved ones deserve. I often felt like I was asking too much for them to brush his teeth, or even wash his legs and feet. On my weekly visits I would do it myself. It was a promise to my Mom that I would take care of my brother. I placed him here thinking it would be better then a foster care home. He had almost no short term memory so he couldn’t tell me if anyone was harming him, if he took his medication, or even what he had for lunch. It worried me to leave him with any

For One Thing It's Very Very Secluded. The Place Looked Like A Camp. ?Dry And Dusty Landscape.. When Entering The Lobby ? No One Was There.. Smelled A Bit But It Seems They Were Understaffed And That Makes A Difference With Healing.. But Simple Insurance, Simple Accommodation's With Much Needed Rehabilitation..

First and foremost, I came into this completely unbiased, as I planned on keeping an open mind with my grandfather having to be here. From what I witnessed, I am appalled. Yes, basic insurance equates to basic care...however, we shouldn’t have to pay extra to ensure our Kupuna are treated with patience and decency. The first thing I noted was the Lobby being the nicest area in the entire facility, that, unfortunately, is not saying much. Restrooms for visitors...I have seen bigger porta-potties. There is this lingering smell in the air, mustiness, almost as though there is a feigned attempt to be clean, but it’s not quite there. It has the same hygiene as a camp mess hall. I understand there are Kupuna here that are suffering from mental and severe physical ailments as well, so imagine
