Aloha Kīnā ʻOle families,
We pray this message finds everyone safe and healthy!
As the number of daily positive Covid cases remains alarmingly high and “breakthrough” cases in vaccinated elderly rises in many facilities, we are forced to revise our visitation policies to ensure the safety of all our residents.
The revised Visitation policies below will take effect beginning Thursday, August 5th. The changes will remain in place until the positive daily cases decrease to double digits or until further notice.
We will continue to fulfill our essential mission to provide quality care to all our residents. Let’s all work together to keep everyone safe and healthy! Thank you for your continued support, understanding, flexibility, cooperation and prayers as we work together to respond effectively and efficiently to this constantly evolving landscape of the COVID-19 pandemic.
We pray for everyone’s safety and good health!
Stay healthy,
Kīnā ʻOle Estate Administrative Team
