Ka Punawai Ola is a nursing care facility that opened in 2000, and houses 118 patients. Here is some information about them:
“Ka Punawai Ola offers subacute care for patients who need specialized medical services, including medical rehabilitation, IV therapy, and respiratory therapy. Respite care is provided for individuals who need assistance while their primary caregiver is on vacation or temporarily unable to provide in-home care. The Alzheimer’s special care unit has been designed to offer a comfortable and secure environment suitable for the care of residents with Alzheimer’s disease and related dementia disorders.”
The patients are often cold, even indoors, so we have been asked to send hats, lapghans, and shawls so they will have a little something to keep warm when they are going about their daily activities.
