Better health & wellness at homeNikkei Concerns and AARP joined forces to improve health and wellness among Asian seniors at home yet living alone. With the support of a $150,000 AARP Cares grant, Nikkei Concerns launched a 6-month pilot program in March called NC Club – Aging in Community. 25 selected participants (50+ years young) in the Seattle/Bellevue area will be the first to enjoy the innovative and exciting services of NC Club. When the pilot is complete, we will make improvements based on the participants’ experiences and offer the new services to the public.

Dear Friends,The excitement is already building toward the 40th anniversary celebration of Nikkei Concerns and indeed, it is time to celebrate the past, present, and the future. The accomplishments to date are a remarkable legacy as evidenced by the strong programs we have today and by the devoted efforts of many to strengthen and build in new forms of service for current and foreseeable needs. All this is made possible by a community that consists of many, many people who believe in the mission and vision of the highest quality of care for our elders, changing and evolving as the times and needs require, so that each life we touch can have their best day, each day! That’s incredibly transformative. Our residents and participants, family members and supporters, staff, individuals and groups – all of you – one community – give us something truly worth celebrating! Thank you ever so much for your dedication and active involvement. Save the date! Friday, October 23!

With gratitude,

Julie Ann Oiye Board President

Dear Friends,As I reviewed various definitions of community… I thought this was very appropriate: “A community is a social unit of any size that shares common values.” In the context of the Nikkei Concerns (NC) “community,” I think of the 10,000+ individuals in our community who each, over the course of 40 years, contributed toward a “greater good.” They continue to honor and “make every day the best day” for our “collective parents and grandparents” with commitment to the highest quality of health & wellness care/services grounded in sincere compassion. These residents, participants, family members, volunteers, donors, staff (with a rich diversity, representing 17 different ethnic groups and speaking 28 different languages), organizations, and many others may not necessarily reside in the Pacific Northwest (many live throughout the US and abroad) nor are connected “virtually” through technology. Rather, they are “tied together as one” based on something invisible but extremely powerful… common values.

I would like to share a story that might make us think of the NC community a little differently. Recently, I was leaving a parking garage and noticed the attendant was of East African descent… specifically, Ethiopian. I mentioned that I recently participated in a Habesha (Ethiopian cultural celebration) at my workplace, and his eyes immediately lit up. He asked me, “Where do you work?” I said, “Nikkei Concerns, and we had a Habesha at Seattle Keiro.” He quickly responded with a big smile, “Ah… that is our place!” He went on to explain that the Ethiopian community considers Seattle Keiro to be a part of their community, for many work there and feel comfortable and embraced. Very powerful!

I am so excited as we enter the dawn of a new era for NC and celebrate our 40th anniversary! Throughout this issue you will read and see how we are expanding our services, partnerships… and “community…” with community!

Itsumo ganbatte imasu!

Nikkei Concerns’ 40th AnniversaryDinner & Auction

S a v e t h e D at e !Friday, October 23, 2015

Turning the big 4-0For 40 years, Nikkei Concerns has served our community — enhancing and promoting health & wellness and transforming lives. We will celebrate our triumphs and share our future plans with a joyful dinner and auction Gala this fall.

Gala Committee co-chairs Tomoko Matsuno, Sunnie Nagai, Ellen Suzuki, and Pat Wakazuru have recruited an enthusiastic and experienced volunteer group to plan all of the details for the quinquennial (that’s every 5 years) extravaganza. They generated momentum and excitement for the event with a kick-off party to inspire the committee members, recruit table captains, and seek sponsors.

Guests – Register today, become a table captain, and encourage your family members to fill a table or two!

Sponsors – We seek sponsors at all levels, from Community Partners to our Presenting Sponsor. Thank you to Bellevue Children’s Academy for being our first sponsor.

Donors – Unique and special donated items will enhance our live and silent auctions.

Volunteers – Please help out on the big day! We’ll have more information later this year.

If you have questions, please contact Patty Hiroo Mastrude, Philanthropy Manager, at 206.726.6523 or [email protected].

Jerry and Charlene Lee donated the first major auction item – a Super Bowl XLVIII helmet autographed by Richard Sherman.


usual. Patients will re-learn how to safely get out of bed, do the dishes, take a shower, do laundry, and so much more in a setting similar to home. Demolition began in March, and construction will take 8 to 10 weeks, with completion scheduled for May.

Rehab Resident RoomsFuture Seattle Keiro rehab patients can look forward to a peaceful retreat for their short stay. We hope to ease the transition from home to Seattle Keiro with upgrades to 16 rooms. Patients deserve a restful space to relax and recuperate after therapy. Room updates will occur gradually, as they become available.

Nursing and Rehab TeamThe Seattle Keiro nursing team continues to enhance skills through training and builds partnerships with other health organizations to improve approaches and techniques. They

Rehab RenovationFrom top to bottom, Nikkei Concerns is rehabbing our rehab services at Seattle Keiro to provide residents and patients an exceptional experience. They can look forward to an updated and tranquil Rehab/Restorative space, rooms dedicated to rehabilitation residents, and a well-trained nursing staff focused on wellness.

Rehab/Restorative GymThe Restorative and Rehab sections of Seattle Keiro will become one integrated Gym that benefits all. In the new surroundings, rehab patients and long-term residents will focus their energies side by side, in activities that support their appropriate therapies. A new Occupational Therapy Suite will give therapy patients real-life practice with everyday tasks and fully prepare them for life as

Wheels in motionThe wheels on the bus are rolling, and NC Transportation Services is growing. Each month, we provide over 1000 one-way rides. Residents at Nikkei Manor and Seattle Keiro go to and from clinical appointments, community members enjoy bento lunches via NC Delivers, and now our NC Club pilot program participants will take 1-2 rides per week, all thanks to our wonderful drivers. (That’s Brad, Russ, Terry, Thomas, and Ronnie, with 1-2 more in the near future.) Our fleet has grown with a third bus from King County, and a fourth waits for our expansion.

Community-wide general transportation is parked for now, while we learn how to deliver exceptional service on a larger scale. Each trip and each new rider teaches us something, and we will grow.

Architectural renderings of the Rehab/Restorative Gym, including the Occupational Therapy Suite

are dedicated to reducing the need for patients to return to the hospital and minimizing their recuperation time. Our Consonus Rehab staff members, who specialize in physical, occupational, and speech therapies, have won over patients and gently guide them through the often intensive therapy to prepare them to return home.

Good eats for the communityNC Catering makes its formal debut on the community scene this year. They tested the waters with twice-monthly dinners for the Midori Condos residents, appetizers at last year’s Fashion Fête, plus other Nikkei Concerns and private events. Japanese comfort food is their specialty, but NC Catering prides itself in offering both Asian and Western cuisine and can accommodate most special requests. Director Ron Youmans and Manager Chris Manio are crafting their menu offerings and want to work with you to make your event memorable. Contact Ron at 206.755.3078 or [email protected] for more information.

NC Delivers plans to bring healthy Japanese cuisine to your door. The weekly bento lunch delivery is perfect for those who miss Asian food or just need a break from cooking. Thanks to Fumiko Muthui, the artful Japanese bento are full of delicious, irresistible, and healthy morsels.

The team has successfully tested bento delivery to residents of the Midori Condos and is working out logistics to add days and delivery locations. The next step is to deliver bento lunches to Kokoro Kai in Seattle. In the future, NC Delivers will feature as an a la carte service for the new NC Club.

Reaching out to the EastsideKokoro Kai EastDid you know that Kokoro Kai, our very special senior activity program, is in Bellevue, at Grace Lutheran Church? The same kimochi that is a hallmark of Kokoro Kai in Seattle is alive and kicking at Kokoro Kai East! The amazing volunteer spirit and wonderful staff make Kokoro Kai East a new family for Eastside seniors.

Many thanks our new family at Grace Lutheran Church for giving Kokoro Kai East a home!

In the knowNC Club participants’ new best friends will be their Nurse Navigator and Personal Concierge. The Nurse Navigator will coordinate their health care and coach the participants via remote health monitoring and personal and electronic home visits. The Personal Concierge will help link participants to community resources and activities. Both will connect on a frequent basis through innovative technology, a customized touchscreen system (currently in English or Japanese and expandable to accommodate additional languages) designed to measure blood pressure, glucose levels, and activity levels. It also opens up channels of communication with care providers, community, and family.

On the goTransportation is key with seniors on their own, and our NC Transportation drivers will take participants on 1-2 trips per week, wherever they need to go (within reason, of course). Participants will enjoy the increased independence, and our drivers are thoughtful, safety-oriented, and friendly.

For more information on NC Club, please contact Kara Mayeda, Home/Community-Based Services Director, at 206.558.4669 or [email protected].

Guest Chef Shinya Asami prepared a sumptuous and inspired vegetarian luncheon for this season’s Genki Gourmet at Seattle Keiro. The residents and more than 40 community diners gained a new appreciation of vegetarian dining and were wowed by the delicious flavor and texture combinations. Thanks to Chef Asami and to all of the helping hands who made this restaurant-quality experience possible for the residents.

The Mamiya Family and friends shared their time and Mochitsuki expertise to celebrate at Seattle Keiro. Family members and a huge team – including some of the Seattle Keiro residents – mixed, pounded, formed, and served the fresh, soft mochi that made happy memories for residents and families of all backgrounds and ethnicities that make up the Seattle Keiro community.

The Nikkei Concerns Family has great moments to preserve and share. As a family, we embrace the residents, participants, volunteers, staff, and community members. We honor long-held traditions and value kind gestures of friendship and love. Our Family Album is full of precious and treasured memories.

Jazz pianist and composer Kentaro Kihara returned to Seattle Keiro and touched the hearts of the audience. His lyrical interpretations of familiar Japanese and American songs brought joy to all.
