Kina 'Ole Estate

Kina’ole sets the standard for managed elder care. Located in Kaneohe, Hawaii in a manicured garden like setting, the facilities, staff and management are unmatched.
My mother lives in the Elua building. She is one of eight tenants, each with their own spacious, air conditioned, well maintained, one bedroom and bath space. Beth Slavens has created an environment there that feels more like a home than a care facility.
The certified staff not only exude professionalism, but are also welcoming and make each resident feel like family.
Mom is 99 and has thrived so far in this environment and rarely takes naps now.
Immediately outside of her door is the care givers station and the living room and dining area.
The living room is equipped with overstuffed recliners and a large TV and sound system, and along with the dining area with two person seating, are both located centrally to every room and are within 10-20 feet of Mom’s bedroom.
The in home common area is well decorated, has a cathedral ceiling and even a good sized fish tank, with also a guest bathroom.
Outside of the building is a walking path throughout the grounds that includes sitting areas, a small fishpond with a running waterfall, and picnic benches. Ample parking is available immediately outside of the home and access to the complex is secured by a controlled gate.
Visiting hours are unlimited and can be scheduled with the building manager Makana at anytime 24 hours in advance of your visit. Up to four visitors are allowed in Mom’s room.
Entrance to each building is controlled and the staff and visitors follow a strict Covid protocol that currently includes a requirement for a Covid test card, temperature checks and screening, as well as face masks and shields for entry to protect the residents.
Three well prepared meals are provided to each resident, with exercises and activities scheduled daily. Trips to the local clinic and doctors are included.
Laundry, medication services, in room alarms and notification systems are all included. The certified nurse assistants are courteous, friendly, and help each resident with their physical needs.
Mom has severe dementia and the staff is trained to both understand and help her with her needs.
Mom loves her new home and staff. She now has been At Kina’ole for 3 weeks and enjoys it there. She is comfortable, safe and well cared for. Besides 24/7 RN coverage, Kina’ole maintains a minimum 1:4 staff to resident ratio during the day and evening, and a 1:8 ratio at night.
I have visited numerous other care facilities and find Kina’ole to be unsurpassed in staff, management, quality, service and care. I am convinced that Mom will receive the care and attention she deserves and needs there. Thank you for making her feel loved and at home!

It’s been a week since we transferred my mother to Kina Ole Estates and we (my brothers and my children) are surprised by the improvement that she has shown. She’s using a walker instead of a wheelchair and is more alert and talkative. Beth’s positive attitude and genuine enthusiasm overflows and is exhibited in her staff.
Would highly recommend Kina Ole Estates to anyone looking for a place for mom or dad.

Love Kinaole Estates! The grounds are beautiful and relaxing. Really like that they have a gate. You have to talk to an employee and tell them who you have an appointment with via an intercom system. The 3 homes have 8 people in each home. Everybody has their own bedroom and a private bathroom! When we walked I saw the residents playing a parachute game. They were having so much fun. There was a bunny in a cage. They took it out later so the people could pet it. So much stuff in this activity room It had a monthly calendar to show the activities for each day. They have the owner(Beth) cutting and styling the men and women! What a great service! A podiatrist comes monthly to cut their toenails and even has a massage therapist if you need one. It appeared the people really like their meals and snacks. Overall this place looks great. It is close to Kaneohe town, but so secluded and quiet. And that is why we decided to have my mother move here!

The staff, especially Beth was very friendly and helpful to our entire family. They made our Dad feel welcomed as he adjusted to his new daily routine. The patience, kindness, and care they gave our Dad made him relax and enjoy being at Kina 'Ole Estates. It has been a big weight lifted from our family's shoulders knowing our Dad is getting quality care and that he is happy and content. They're getting to know him as an individual and accommodate each resident personally instead of making everyone fit into a certain mold. Now we can visit our Dad and enjoy our time together instead as being full time care givers because he is in good hands. We are so happy we found Kina 'Ole Estates for our Dad, it has been the best thing for him and our family.

Beautiful setting. Home is immaculate. Staff treat residents like “ohana”. We are always kept abreast of any changes. Excellent communication. Love seeing staff enjoy special occasions with the residents. Truly blessed
