Keiro Northwest

Keiro Northwest Keiro Northwest is a non-profit organization in the International District of Seattle, WA with the mission of serving Japanese elders.

Our Mission: "Honoring the past and preserving Japanese-American heritage, we provide uniquely-tailored care to meet the physical, emotional, and spiritual needs for elders to thrive." Our Story: In the early 1970s, aging Issei (first generation Japanese-Americans) had nowhere to go to receive culturally sensitive nursing care. In response to this need, seven Nisei (second generation) mobilized th

e Japanese community to develop a nursing home to meet the cultural, social, language and dietary needs of elderly Nikkei. In 1975, these visionaries created Issei Concerns, later known as Nikkei Concerns, and today is now known as Keiro Northwest. In 2019, our not-for-profit organization responded to the growing challenges in the skilled nursing industry by closing the Keiro Rehabilitation and Care Center, as well as our community programs. We consolidated our services to direct all of our attention and resources to the assisted living community and the adult day program, both of specific value to our residents and aging members of our surrounding community. Today, Nikkei Manor, our assisted living facility, continues to provide a warm and caring environment for our wonderful residents. With outstanding Japanese food served daily, enrichment activities to engage the hearts and minds, and a strong team of nurturing bilingual care staff, our residents enjoy a high quality of life in Seattle. In addition, our Kokoro Kai adult day program opens Nikkei Manor to the community so that elders living at home can enjoy a day program of lively activities, intergenerational programming, outings to local attractions, and a meal with familiar faces.

Thank you to Eugene Tagawa for the beautiful photos! On Monday, our Interim Board Chair, Susan Okamoto Lane, and Nikkei Manor Executive Director Amy Nguyen presented a wreath on behalf of Keiro Northwest at the NVC Memorial Day Ceremony at Lake View Cemetery, honoring Japanese American soldiers, including the brave Nisei of the 442nd Regimental Combat Team, who fought for our country with courage and sacrifice.

We are grateful for the opportunity to remember and pay tribute to those who served, and to reflect on the enduring legacy they leave for future generations.
