tHe Genki ConferenCe is designed to help you live life to the fullest by addressing the eight dimensions of wellbeing; physical, occupational, financial, intellectual, emotional, social, spiritual, and environmental.

Founded in 1961, Keiro is a not-for-profit organization dedicated to enhancing the quality of senior life in Our Community. Our organization provides resources, tools, and culturally sensitive programs to help older adults age on their own terms and live with dignity, vitality and confidence. We also support caregivers with problem-solving approaches to manage some of their toughest challenges.

Keiro is expanding our reach from a focus on long term health care facilities to broadly engaging and supporting older adults wherever they call home. We serve:

• Older adults who are Japanese American, or of Japanese descent, and those who embrace our culture and values;

• Those who care for and support older adults in Our Community, including family, caregivers, and organizations;

• Nonprofit, public, and other service providers who could benefit from Keiro’s philosophy, approaches, and methodology that contributes to the quality of senior life. Our direct efforts are focused in Los Angeles, Orange and Ventura counties.

Core program areas are:• Services to older adults• Support of caregivers

• Programs for resident of Keiro’s former facilities
