Aloha Residents, Families and Loved Ones,
THANK YOU VERY MUCH for your participation in the Covid-19 Vaccination Clinic! Our 3rd, and final clinic, was on March 8th and we now have 95% of our residents and associates who have been vaccinated.
The vaccine reaches its full potential two (2) weeks after the 2nd dose so the relaxation of our Covid-19 safety protocols will be effective March 22nd.
Please see the following updates:
4-Pillars of Safety to continue
Wash your hands (hygiene)
Health screening
Wear a face mask
Social distancing (6-feet)
Guest Visitation
Fully vaccinated visitors (with at least 2-weeks after their 2nd dose) may enter the community and visit residents in their apartments and common areas without scheduling a visitation. Daily visitation hours will be from 8:00am and 8:00pm. A copy of the vaccination card must be provided at the time of the visit.
If the visitor is not fully vaccinated, an individual Covid-19 saliva test must be taken for a visit in the community. Once a negative result is received, a visit must be scheduled within 24-hours.
Contact the front desk to schedule a Covid-19 saliva test. Testing times are Sunday thru Thursday from 9:00am to 3:00pm.
Guest visits without full vaccination or the individual Covid-19 saliva test will be available at the outdoor poolside lanai using the plexiglass shielded table. Visitation times are daily for 45-minutes at 8:00am, 9:00am or 10:00am. Please call the front desk for reservations as it will be on a first-come, first-served basis.
A maximum of three (3) visitors per resident or resident couple will be allowed and can be any combination of adults and children. Children 12-years of age and older must take the Covid-19 saliva test.
Activities Outside Community
Residents leaving the community for essential and non-essential activities outside the community for less than 24-hours will not need to self-quarantine in their apartment upon their return.
Dining Room
Increase from two (2) to four (4) persons per table, social distancing of tables to continue.
Meals with visitors are available in designated areas with reservations, guest meal fees apply.
Room Service / Take-out fees will be reinstated as of March 22nd with the exception for residents who are quarantined or ill.
Cooking demonstrations in the Activity Room.
Wellness Activities
April start with vendors (outside persons)
– Happy Hour / Birthday Bash with live entertainment

Note: Vendor selection based on completed Covid-19 vaccination or negative Covid-19 test result within 24-hours of activity.
Scenic bus rides
Blue Zones walks limited to 10-persons per group.
NEX shopping to start in April on the 2nd Friday of each month from 8:30am to 11:30am.
Kapolei area shopping each Wednesday and Friday from 10:00am to 2:00pm.
Covid-19 Virus Surveillance Testing
Weekly testing for all associates and residents.
This relaxation of routine activities may cause residents an increased risk of exposure to the Covid-19 virus including contracting the virus from visitors and/or carrying back the virus to the community. Our hopes are since 95% of our residents and associates have been vaccinated, the risk of passing the virus to another person is minimized. Or, if the virus is passed on to another vaccinated person the negative health effects will be reduced.
We welcome this improvement to our residents’ quality of life with these relaxed safety protocols and thank you for your continuing patience and support of our safety measures. Please contact Valerie Rickard or myself for any questions and we can be reached at 808-674-8022.
Sincerely,
Mark T. Tsuda
Executive Director
