Seattle Keiro

Keiro Northwest is a non-profit healthcare organization based in Seattle, Washington, dedicated to providing culturally sensitive care for Asian American seniors. Established in 1975 as Issei Concerns, the organization rebranded in 2016 to reflect its broader service to the Asian Pacific Islander community. While it historically operated the Seattle Keiro Rehabilitation and Care Center, a prominent skilled nursing facility that closed in 2019, the organization continues to provide essential services through Nikkei Manor and Kokoro Kai. These programs offer assisted living and adult day care services that integrate Japanese cultural values, language, and cuisine. The organization remains a vital resource for the Nikkei community, focusing on maintaining independence and quality of life for the elderly.
