Furry Feline has Taken Residence in Wailuku

Keoki, also known as George or Jorge, is a recent addition to Hale Makua Wailuku’s community. He is a large white cat who chose to adopt the nursing office as his home. Staff and residents have found Keoki to be very friendly; he loves being held and petted. In the photo resident Midori Hayashido holds him while sending a shaka sign to the camera. Midori broke into a smile as soon as she saw Keoki and reached to hold him.

Hunting for Fun

On Saturday March 23, North Neighborhood at Hale Makua Kahului held an Easter Egg Hunt. Residents, staff, family, and children gathered in the central courtyard of North Neighborhood to celebrate together. Residents were delighted to meet the children and help them search for bright plastic eggs. All the attendees enjoyed the beautiful weather and the chance to spend time with family and friends in such a beautiful setting.
