Hale Nani Rehabilitation And Nursing Center

The staff and nurses, the CNAs and the maintenance staff, are so kind and helpful; it makes a really difficult time that much easier to cope, when my Mom had a stroke last June. Our social worker Jen has been great and there's always a smile on Pen-3! If you and your family find yourself in the same situation, needing Around the Clock care for your loved one, you can trust the people here and find comfort in the facility. With one exception ... the parking is very difficult! If you need to be there at a certain time make sure you have at least 10 to 15 minutes extra time just to find parking! Just wanted to update my previous comments: I am happy to report that they have adjusted the parking situation! Thanks to the new management, Nina has changed the parking to include quite a few more visitor stalls!!! Now there's hardly a wait when your visiting your loved ones. Thank you!

I have been a patient at Hale Nani Rehab Center from November to Mid December 2018. Prior to that I was hospitalized at Kaiser hospital for one month. In the month of October 2018 I was diagnosed with a rare muscle disease called NECROTIZING MYOPATHY. I had severe muscle weakness in my legs and arms. My immune system was killing the muscles in my body. I could not stand, walk or roll over in my bed. I was totally PARALIZED. I was told by my doctors that my condition was rare and they had no idea if I was going to walk again. After being diagnosed my family and I faced a panic and stressful situation. I have been a Police Officer for about 17 1/2 years. I felt like less of a man that I could not take care my family. I needed assistance just to sit up, roll over use the restroom. I had no idea how I was going to provide for my FAMILY. No one knew besides my wife that I had fallen into a DEEP DEPRESSION. Coming to Hale Nani Rehab Center was a BLESSING in disguised. The PT/OT Staff stepped in the picture with determination and care. My first day in PT/OT therapy it took four people to get me to stand for about 1-2 seconds. But each day the staff pushed me hard to get better. As I got better my state of mind began to change as my physical abilities began to improve. From using a machine to get me to stand then using a machine to stand and walk, then using walker to walk then finally standing and walking on my own. My wife could not hold back her tears when she witnessed me walking down the hallway on my own. It was a miracle that I was able to walk again. The OT/PT staff was so influential in helping with my daily activities of taking care myself. The staff had given me HOPE that my life was going to get better. The OT/PT Staff had addressed every concerned my wife had in helping to care for me. On January 15 2018 I met with my doctor and he was amazed and in total shock that I was walking around . He told that the success rate for this type of infection was very low. With deepest appreciation from me and my family, THANK YOU OT/PT Staff for everything. Not only did you help me walk again, but you helped me see my improvement each and every day. I was able to slowly get out of this DEPRESSION and move on with my life. I know I still have a long way to recover but you guys gave me HOPE and MY LIFE back. Keline, Michael, John, Cyrus, Veronica, Etu and Brittany you guys are the BEST ! God has blessed and given you all the gift to help people ! Faafetai Lava !

Dear Hale Nani, Thank you so much for helping me to have a better quality of life. I am so happy that I am back at home at Kamana Center in Hilo. I will survive with my walker the best I know how. Thank you so much for the professional help I received. Sincerely, Roy Yoshina

Hale Nani is a great facility with friendly staff. They take care of your loved ones like they are their own. It's hard to find a place that shows this much Aloha and are Pono to our Kapuna. Mahalo Nui Loa!

Caring for a person in there were poor. I was very disappointed and with lots of disgust for this facility.
