Ilima at Leihano was nice because it's newer. It was just built. The assisted side is totally separate from the other side because they have all the kind of people that live there that don't really need care. They can just live there, but they can move around. The walkways were big, and the rooms were big. When you enter the room, they got like a big glass and each person can put mementos inside the glass, so you know whose room it is. Each person had that right in front of their door. They had their mother, father, and kids' pictures in there, and whatever's important to them. I thought that was awesome. Everything was on that side including the food. It was separate and it was nice. It had its own garden. You could go outside, plant, sit in the sun, and walk around. They actually took the seniors on tours, and they walked them. That place was good. The staff was awesome. Because it's a separate side, they have more than enough nurses to cover. The activities were awesome. They did almost everything like bingo, games, and exercises.
We really wanted this place, but there's a waiting list. We would have to wait until somebody came off that list. It was our first choice, but the lady said it would take months, and we really couldn't wait that long. If they had an opening there, my father would be there now. The staff was awesome. You got the kitchen and everything there, and they pretty much serve the food that you want to eat. They talk to you and they ask what your loved one likes to eat. They don't really give them food that they don't like to eat. It was pretty good over there. Overall, that's the best. The hallways were huge for people to move around. They won't bump each other. The rooms were nice, and how they just got them set up was awesome in there. It would've been perfect for us, but they don't have enough rooms in the assisted side. The waiting list for the men was too long.

From what I've seen, Ilima at Leihano is a good place. My mom likes the meals they provide and they have extracurricular activities. It's nice, clean, the staff is friendly, and she seems to be enjoying herself. The exterior and interior seem like they just recently built it because it looks up to date. The apartment she's in is a one-bedroom apartment and it's quite big for her. They feed her three meals a day, and whenever she wants a snack, she just asks for whatever she wants and they usually give it to her. I observed them doing some bingo the day I visited, and the residents seem to be enjoying themselves and having fun.
They have a pool, a private dining room for families who want to come in and have little parties, but with COVID going on, I don't know if they're restricting people from using the pool or even the private dining room. Then they have a little lounge area separate from their cafeteria and dining area that the residents spend time in, an activities room, and they're allowed to walk the exterior grounds with typical landscaping on. It's not one of those bigger facilities, but it's quite nice.
The main reasons why I picked it for my mom were because it is close to where I live and the impression I got from my visit to the facility and the staff were good. I've met various people, from sales to residents relations nurses to maintenance people, and they all seemed pleasant and informative. Another reason was it's reasonably priced compared to other places that I researched.

We're choosing the Ilima at Leihano facility because it was well kept, and the support staff is at the level that my father needed at this time. The staff assisted me in facilitating the necessary information, and also ensuring that my father is at the right place. They have a pool, they have a barbecue outing, they have things that are very apropos for individuals who have memory issues, either dementia or early-onset Alzheimer's. It appeared very clean. But, this is a tour and they know that we're coming.

My father will be moving in to Ilima at Leihano. It is awesome and good. They showed us the studio because we were only interested in the studio. I think the size was a little over 400 square feet, and it has a kitchenette. The staff were very professional, helpful, and kind. They have common rooms, lounges, a dining area, and they have an activities area.

We toured Ilima at Leihano. It's actually very good, it's a newer one, it's only been open four years or five years, it's very, very clean, and very conscious of infection control. They had us put on booties, gloves, and even a little cape. It's not too big, so it's not overwhelming in terms of the size and number of people there, The rooms were nice, right, clean, well-organized, and they have a system where if someone is in the room and they need help, all they have to do is push a button and it would notify individuals to come to help them. Overall, it's very good. Right now they are delivering meals to the rooms, but under normal times the options for meals are much more flexible than other places we looked at. It was better than I had anticipated it would be.

I toured Ilima at Leihano originally with my husband and they answered numerous questions to my satisfaction. I was very pleased. Even my mother's physician agrees that this place would be a good fit for her.
It's very clean, and the people are very friendly. I like that it's designed so you don't feel like you're in an institution. It has a very homey feeling and it felt very safe. The staff was very friendly and engaging. Even the residents acknowledged us when we were there, and they appeared to be very happy.
It's very beautiful and spacious. Our only concern was that it seemed very open, but after talking with the director she said it's because they don't want the residents to feel enclosed. From what I could see and whatever was going on, we felt safe and comfortable with their response. We were so impressed. My husband said after we left that place, "I'm so pleased with this place that I would consider signing up before it gets up to capacity." That's how pleased we were. They fed us lunch, and the food service manager came out to greet us after our meal. One of the chefs came out to greet us as well.

My mother moved into Ilima at Leihano. It's very good, it's very comfortable for her, there are a lot of activities, and they take care of her very well there. Her apartment is spacious and comfortable. They have exercise, bingo, and crafts. The food is excellent. The staff is friendly, caring, and helpful. It's a beautiful place, clean, and well-maintained.

At 'Ilima at Leihano, if you required assisted living, you can stay in your room and they would come to your room to assist you with your daily living activities. The place is new, but it's too far away from where I live. They gave us a calendar of activities. The facility looked clean. We saw a studio apartment because that was what we were interested in, but the one we saw wasn't furnished. I have no negative comments or comments for improvement.

We liked Ilima at Leihano very much, but it was small and very new. The staff and the residents were very nice, but it was not in a convenient location.

Illima at Leihano is clean and roomy, and the people are very accommodating. They have activities going on every day with everything from exercise to a few trips. They have a pool, gym, and several large gathering rooms.

Ilima at Leihano looks nice but I find the price too high. The material that they use inside for that amount, for me, is not reasonable. Even the woods and the partition, I find them not applicable for that price. I saw the activities that the other senior citizens were doing there; they were boring. I like gardening. I don’t have to go to a place in order to meet other people, to talk to them, and to crochet.

I visited Ilima at Leihano, and it is a nice community. My sister lives there. It's a new place with only 30 residents at that time. For their activities, they have arts and crafts, happy hour, and different social functions. Their menu looks pretty good.

Ilima at Leihano was very nice. They’re advertising for assisted living, but they don’t have it yet. It was really nice if you don’t need assisted living. They had a calendar of activities, but I didn’t study each individual ones. They seemed to have art classes and excursions. We were looking for assisted living, and they didn’t have it; other than that, they were OK.
