We were worried dropping my mother off on her first day as we didn't tell her she was staying there. The staff greeted us in the parking lot, told her welcome to her new home and took over. After a week, she told me, "If anyone asks, I would recommend this place to anyone! The people are all nice and the food is good!" Residents are treated to namaste, games, singing, quiet times and more. Today I walked into a fabulous show of line dancing and tap dancing by seniors in full costumes!

When I found out one of my dear friends who I used to play mah jong at her house moved into a…read moresenior living community, I knew I wanted to visit her. I called her daughter to confirm she's now at One Kalakaua Senior Living (OK) and was provided with the room number, along with check in procedures when going. Located at the corner of Young St and Kalakaua Ave, OK opened its doors in 1997 where they offer units for people 55 years or older to purchase and live in. They also provide a cafeteria and cleaning services to assist the residents. I was fortunate to have found street parking as my friend and I went on an early weekday evening. There were just a handful of visitor parking where all of the stalls were occupied but one and luckily my friend snagged the last stall in front. Prior to entering, there's an iPad on the wall where all visitors need to register your information. As you enter the doors of OK, the receptionist confirms your registration and then with the information you entered in the iPad, a sticker is printed and you place it on your chest. This was a first time for the both of us so we asked the staff we were visiting our friend and gave the room number where she immediately blurted my friend's full name. Seems like she's well-known here and have many visitors. It's been over 30 years since OK opened and I was quite impressed they keep up with maintenance as I found OK to be modern and well kept. I noticed the tropical floral arrangements and plants, which gave the facility a bright and welcoming ambiance. My friend's unit was a good size for a one bedroom and it was well kept. The unit was in the midst of re-painting. She mentioned the cleaning services offered, where it's convenient and worthy of the fee but didn't say good things about the food. She's a foodie and loves Chinese food. We used to have potlucks where I was responsible of getting the food and a couple of times I cooked at her place. She's got a refined palate for sure. Overall, a very impressive first visit at OK. The residents who I casually bumped into seemed happy and content, just like my friend who is happy to be living here at OK.

It's really a beautiful building which has many activities for seniors, a pool and jacuzzi, library, salon, and fitness room. Residents own their own condos which is different from other senior living options. We came by to visit a friend and were able to dine with them in the dining room on the first floor. The hostess Fely was a bit rude, but after we checked in everyone else in the main dining room was extremely pleasant and accommodating. Dinner started off with a trip to the salad bar which was super fresh. We then had the soup of the day which was the Manhattan clam chowder followed by your entrée of choice, vegetable, starch, drink and dessert. I had the ribeye steak, French fries and spinach. Dessert was Kona coffee ice cream. The food here is quite good! Several steps up from food typically that would be served at a senior assisted living facility. Essentially like restaurant quality!! Really! I was actually pleasantly surprised.. Definitely a really nice place to live for seniors.

The same nurse that was tending to a residents needs 10 mins. ago also i think is the cook as well. asked her what was on the menu for the day and she was unsure and needed to look what they had. asked her if she cooked all the meals for the home and was told "no that they all took turns." Dad had special diet needs and nurse/cook didnt seem to know anything about that and didnt offer any type of options. there were two nurses working that day and one was needed to be the cook as well. seems they lack having enough staff and didnt think the nurse cooking was trained in any food prep or any dietary needs. Food did smell really good though, but the not knowing the menu and having to see what they had was a little strange. went home to think, ended up putting Dad someplace else, and were really happy we did.

Prior to their 24/7 care, my friend fell 5 times over 6 weeks while in an assisted living facility.

This review is regarding the security/safety at The Ivy Hawaii Kai…read more I know an elderly couple living independently in this facility. This past couple of weeks I have visited them on 4-5 occasions. Each time, I arrived and walked in, right past the reception. Nobody stopped me to ask who I was, nobody addressed me in any way at all, in fact. Each time, there was a person on reception, and twice, there were two people on reception. I just breezed through, and walked all the way into the facility to knock on the door of the couple living there. No security check at all. I could have been anybody, and perhaps a person up to no good. Security cameras may exist, but I didn't see any. This is a major issue--safety and well-being of residents is often quoted as a benefit of living there, and I thought the security was lax. While the Independent Living residents are issued with emergency alerts, there isn't a requirement to actually wear them, and I did not find any emergency alert pulls in the actual apartment. The couple I was visiting, when asked if they are checked-on periodically to see if they're okay--they said no. So, if something goes awry in their personal apartment, and they are not wearing their emergency button; they could be left in a precarious state for who knows how long? Is this enough Care Quality for residents living independently--rather than aging in place at home? I wouldn't have thought so. I am not intimately familiar with this institution, but I really do recommend family ensure they know exactly what the Type of Care is being purchased. My impression from these visits is that there are some significant flaws regarding safety/security.
