From 20 years of Caregiver Conferences to celebrating our 60th Anniversary, 2021 was filled with new experiences and growth for Keiro, grounded in the mission our founders laid down for us in 1961. We reflected on our rich history while continuously developing innovative ways to serve older adults and caregivers in Our Community for years to come. Thank you for such a great year, and we are looking forward to seeing what 2022 has in store!

Caregiver Conference
Keiro celebrated our 20th year of hosting Caregiver Conferences through valuable presentations on caregiving during the pandemic, reflections from past caregivers, and culinary tips for caregivers.

Teach Me Series
We started the Teach Me Series, a new video series where we asked older adults to be our teachers, sharing their stories related to an activity they enjoy doing.

With the rise in hate crimes impacting Asian American older adults, Keiro hosted multiple senior safety classes and created flyers and resources with safety tips for older adults.

Iyashi Care
We continued to strengthen our Iyashi Care program, providing peace of mind to hundreds of older adults living with serious illnesses while also supporting their family members navigating the complex health care system.
