Hundreds of participants joined Keiro and partners, Pasadena Buddhist Temple, First Presbyterian Church of Altadena, Pasadena Japanese Cultural Institute, and Pasadena Nikkei Seniors at the  Genki  Conference: Caregiver's Edition on Saturday, June 11.
 
Speakers from Alzheimer's Greater Los Angeles, Bet Tzedek Legal Services, Center for Health Care Rights, Family Caregiver Alliance, and Millennia Personal Care Services, along with representatives from Keiro plus 22 health-related agencies and long-term care services provided resources and information to conference participants. Attorneys Nathan Watanabe and Staci Yamashita-Ida, and pharmacist Sheila Takayesu, provided estate planning and pharmacy consultations, respectively. All conference participants were offered complimentary stroke and fitness screenings provided by Independence at Home SCAN Health Plan.
Keiro recognizes that family caregiving is nearly universal today and we continue our work to support caregivers along with services to older adults and programs to support residents of the former facilities.
