Hospice of Kona's mission is to provide family -centered support, education and care to
those approaching end of life. Traditionally this has taken place in
the comfort of a patient's home. Occasionally, however, home care
is not an option or the care needed is temporarily unavailable and an
alternative situation is sought out.
In
support of our mission and to provide an alternative comforting and
compassionate home-like setting, Hospice of Kona has opened the
Nakamaru Hale.
