Introducing The Institute for Healthy Aging at Keiro

For 50 years, the mission of Keiro Senior HealthCare has been to enhance the quality of senior life in our community through culturally sensitive health care services. To address the needs of Japanese American older adults who live at home, Keiro recently launched The Institute for Healthy Aging to promote healthy aging for those 50 years and older and to provide resources for the 30,000 caregivers in our community.

Through the Institute, you may:

• Acquire knowledge about healthy aging, financial fitness related to aging, caregiving, and continuing education opportunities through the articles and links found in this section

• Attend a Caregivers Conference and receive support, practical tools, and techniques to help you cope with the stresses of caregiving

Built on the value of respecting our elders, Keiro offers a continuum of senior living options, including residential living, assisted living, intermediate care, skilled nursing and rehabilitation care, and memory support for individuals with Alzheimer’s and related cognitive losses. For nearly 50 years, a committed community, a competent and caring staff, hundreds of dedicated volunteers, and thousands of financial supporters have enabled Keiro to deliver compassionate care in comfortable atmosphere, wherever older adults may live. Meeting the changing needs of our community, Keiro has expanded to include The Institute for Healthy Aging at Keiro, which promotes healthy aging in our community through education, research, the building of social networks, and developing innovative care models, all while celebrating the unique Japanese American culture.
