<strong>NC</strong> <strong>Values</strong> <strong>lead</strong> <strong>the</strong> <strong>NC</strong> <strong>Way</strong>!<br />
“Making Every Day The Best Day”– this is <strong>the</strong> “<strong>NC</strong> <strong>Way</strong>”<br />
and is now every staff member’s job responsibility. The<br />
<strong>NC</strong> <strong>Way</strong> is fully endorsed by <strong>the</strong> <strong>NC</strong> Board and is<br />
gaining momentum with staff… soon to be incorporated<br />
with volunteers and family members. Over <strong>the</strong> course of<br />
<strong>the</strong> year <strong>the</strong> <strong>NC</strong> Management and Staff have embraced<br />
this concept as a means to deliver high-quality service<br />
for our residents. Our core values, Respect, Trust,<br />
Kimochi (compassion), Quality of Life, and<br />
Family are intended to shape <strong>the</strong> attitude and behaviors<br />

of our staff in <strong>the</strong> care of our residents. We have built our<br />
strategy around <strong>the</strong> <strong>NC</strong> <strong>Way</strong>, communicated <strong>the</strong> concept<br />
to all our staff, discussed <strong>the</strong> <strong>NC</strong> <strong>Way</strong> weekly in all our<br />
meetings, based many of our decisions through <strong>the</strong> <strong>NC</strong><br />
<strong>Way</strong> and created a special advisory group called <strong>the</strong> <strong>NC</strong><br />
<strong>Way</strong> <strong>Values</strong> Committee.<br />
“The <strong>NC</strong> <strong>Way</strong>, supported by our core values, will<br />
establish a foundation for exceptional service for our<br />
participants, staff, community and most importantly <strong>the</strong><br />
residents we serve” noted Willon Lew, motivated as an<br />
<strong>NC</strong> family member of two former residents himself, who is<br />
helping <strong>lead</strong> this effort. It’s all about placing high value on<br />

OUR MISSION<br />
To enrich and support <strong>the</strong> lives<br />
of elders and meet <strong>the</strong>ir needs in<br />
a way that honors and respects<br />
<strong>Nikkei</strong> culture and values.<br />
Dear Friends,<br />
As President I am working toward stronger kizuna (bond) between <strong>the</strong> <strong>Nikkei</strong> <strong>Concerns</strong> Board (moving forward with <strong>the</strong> <strong>NC</strong><br />
<strong>Way</strong>) and <strong>the</strong> community.<br />
The Board members are <strong>Nikkei</strong> <strong>Concerns</strong>’ link to <strong>the</strong> community, sharing information with community members. We listen to you<br />
and convey your needs and concerns so everyone keeps up to date on current issues. For <strong>the</strong> good of <strong>the</strong> entire community, we<br />
link with fellow organizations to form partnerships.<br />
Three members of <strong>the</strong> Board, including myself, serve on CEO Jeffrey Hattori’s “Blue Ribbon” Committee. Over <strong>the</strong> next several<br />
months, we, along with <strong>the</strong> o<strong>the</strong>r members, will make recommendations for <strong>Nikkei</strong> <strong>Concerns</strong>’ future direction. My thanks to <strong>the</strong><br />
Committee members and participating board members for <strong>the</strong>ir dedication.<br />
As we work toge<strong>the</strong>r, we build a stronger <strong>Nikkei</strong> <strong>Concerns</strong> and a more connected community. Your involvement enriches <strong>the</strong><br />
environment in which we serve. Thank you for making every day <strong>the</strong> best day for <strong>the</strong> residents, participants, staff,<br />
and community.<br />
Dear Friends,<br />
Sincerely,<br />
Ted Tomita<br />
Board President<br />
“When your values are clear to you, making decisions become easier.” This is a quote from Roy Disney, nephew of Walt<br />
Disney. How true! <strong>Nikkei</strong> <strong>Concerns</strong> was founded on core values that have remained firmly entrenched since 1975 and<br />
include Respect, Trust, Kimochi (compassion), Quality of Life, and Family. Over <strong>the</strong> past two plus years <strong>the</strong>y have served as<br />
<strong>the</strong> driving force for how we “think and do.”<br />
Recently, we have rolled out <strong>the</strong> <strong>Nikkei</strong> <strong>Concerns</strong> (<strong>NC</strong>) <strong>Way</strong> initiative that is based on our core values and will flow<br />
throughout <strong>the</strong> organization. Making every day <strong>the</strong> best day for our residents, participants, staff and community is now <strong>the</strong><br />
#1 job for all who work at <strong>Nikkei</strong> <strong>Concerns</strong>. Simply put, we want to be <strong>the</strong> best place to live, work and support!<br />
Each and every employee is critical in providing <strong>the</strong> highest quality of care and services and work environment. I am pleased<br />
to announce that we have created <strong>the</strong> <strong>NC</strong> <strong>Way</strong> <strong>Values</strong> Committee that is composed of representatives from all programs and<br />
departments to share and seek ideas and promote a culture that enhances <strong>Nikkei</strong> <strong>Concerns</strong>. It gives me goose bumps to see<br />
and hear <strong>the</strong>ir enthusiasm and passion!<br />
I had a chance to talk with Russ Akiyama, founding CEO, about what may be in <strong>the</strong> future for <strong>Nikkei</strong> <strong>Concerns</strong> and he said,<br />
“Jeffrey, <strong>the</strong> <strong>NC</strong> <strong>Way</strong> IS (and will <strong>lead</strong>) <strong>the</strong> future.” I suspect his quote will become much like Roy Disney’s… one to<br />
remember, live and work by.<br />

日 本 復 興 へ、「<strong>NC</strong>バリュー」の 貢 献<br />
When Japan was devastated by <strong>the</strong> tsunami and subsequent earthquakes, <strong>Nikkei</strong><br />
<strong>Concerns</strong> immediately mobilized fundraising efforts to help. Families and individuals,<br />
volunteers, and staff members gave generously to aid <strong>the</strong> people impacted by <strong>the</strong><br />
disasters. Some donors had family in Japan, with a few in Miyagi-ken; many more<br />
gave out of <strong>the</strong> goodness of <strong>the</strong>ir hearts with a wish to help restore a sense of<br />
normalcy to <strong>the</strong> people who suffered so deeply. In all, <strong>Nikkei</strong> <strong>Concerns</strong>’ raised over<br />
$19,000.<br />
After an intense search for an eldercare organization in Miyagi-ken, <strong>Nikkei</strong> <strong>Concerns</strong><br />
donated <strong>the</strong> funds to Miyagi-ken Shou Group Home Kyougi Kai, a<br />
non-profit association of group homes who care for residents with dementia and<br />
Alzheimer’s. The association was able to purchase a shower chair and a fall sensor<br />

Senior Moments<br />
It’s great to be a senior with <strong>Nikkei</strong> <strong>Concerns</strong>! Our senior moments are full of fun and adventure,<br />
expanding our world or discovering <strong>the</strong> world within. We honor long-held traditions and treasure<br />
kind gestures of friendship and love. Senior moments at <strong>Nikkei</strong> <strong>Concerns</strong> are precious memories that<br />
we hold onto with all of our might.<br />
Kay Matsuura,<br />
Helen Gota, Terrie<br />

Resident Clara Stewart welcomed singer Daisuke Ohi.<br />
The famous Japanese enka singer dazzled residents at both<br />
Seattle Keiro and <strong>Nikkei</strong> Manor. This was a return visit for Ohisan,<br />
at least, to <strong>Nikkei</strong> Manor, where he performed last year.<br />
Domo arigato, Ohi-san! We also express our sincere thanks to<br />
Uguisu-kai, a choral group which performs at Seattle Keiro and<br />
<strong>Nikkei</strong> Manor semi-annually. Their kindness and urging brought<br />
Ohi-san to <strong>Nikkei</strong> <strong>Concerns</strong>.<br />
Sally Montejano and her<br />
grandkids, Ollie and Eva,<br />

<strong>NC</strong> <strong>Values</strong> <strong>lead</strong> <strong>the</strong> <strong>NC</strong> <strong>Way</strong>! Continued from page 7<br />
Recently this group embarked upon<br />
a “Smiles Campaign” to increase<br />
smiling in <strong>the</strong> workforce. Smiling has<br />
been identified by family members<br />
as a compelling element in <strong>the</strong><br />
delivery of quality service. Next time<br />
you see one of our staff members<br />
smiling, reinforce this behavior by<br />
smiling back. It’s one way in “Making<br />
Everyday The Best Day.”<br />
Working toge<strong>the</strong>r on <strong>the</strong><br />
Dragonfly Journey<br />
Simple gestures can make a huge<br />
impact, especially when everyone<br />
works toward one specific goal. The<br />
Dragonfly Journey Program<br />
provides comfort for families and<br />
dignity and peace for <strong>the</strong>ir loved one<br />
during his/her final journey.<br />
At Seattle Keiro, members of each<br />
department make an extra effort to<br />
do <strong>the</strong>ir part. Nurses provide comfort<br />
care, social workers are <strong>the</strong>re to<br />
listen. Dietary staff bring snacks and<br />
refreshments for families, so <strong>the</strong>y<br />
can stay by <strong>the</strong>ir loved one’s side.<br />
Maintenance workers offer families<br />
a reclining armchair where <strong>the</strong>y can<br />
rest or even catch a few hours of<br />
sleep. Activities staff fill <strong>the</strong> resident’s<br />
room with peaceful music and offer<br />
a memory book for families to record<br />
<strong>the</strong>ir best memories of <strong>the</strong>ir loved one.<br />
Volunteers sit by a resident’s side,<br />
holding his/her hand so <strong>the</strong> resident<br />
knows that someone always cares.<br />
<strong>Nikkei</strong> Manor is also implementing<br />
<strong>the</strong> program and has already made<br />
a difference in <strong>the</strong> lives of <strong>the</strong> families<br />
and <strong>the</strong> ones <strong>the</strong>y love.<br />

Mixed Berry Crisp (6 Servings)<br />
Quality of Life is<br />
Seasoned at <strong>Nikkei</strong><br />
Manor’s Foodie Forum<br />
Many <strong>Nikkei</strong> Manor residents, staff,<br />
volunteers, and family members can be seen<br />
proudly wearing Foodie Forum buttons<br />
that display shiitake mushroom with <strong>the</strong><br />
words “I’m a Foodie!!” This is a fun group<br />
that meets quarterly to discuss all things foodrelated.<br />
On <strong>the</strong> first day of each season, <strong>the</strong><br />
Foodie Forum talks about memories of great<br />
meals, family traditions, and cultural and<br />
historical ties to certain foods. Everyone has a chance<br />
to describe <strong>the</strong>ir favorite foods of <strong>the</strong> season. Treasured<br />
recipes are shared with <strong>the</strong> group and tasty tidbits are<br />
served and critiqued.<br />
Most importantly, many dishes discussed at <strong>the</strong> Foodie<br />
Forum find <strong>the</strong>ir way onto <strong>the</strong> menu at <strong>Nikkei</strong> Manor.<br />
Residents are delighted when <strong>the</strong>y see <strong>the</strong>ir own<br />
suggestions on <strong>the</strong>ir dinner plates! At <strong>the</strong> summer meeting,<br />
several members described <strong>the</strong>ir love for fresh berries this<br />
time of year, and as a result, we prepared a mixed<br />
berry crisp for <strong>the</strong>ir enjoyment. Please try this easy<br />
recipe and enjoy <strong>the</strong> summer as you proudly proclaim,<br />
“I’m a Foodie!”<br />
Tastefully Yours,<br />

Daikon Honey to <strong>the</strong> rescue!<br />
Got a sore throat Can’t stop coughing Daikon<br />
and honey will be your lifesaver!<br />
Daikon (white radish) contains vitamin C and<br />
important enzymes - diastase, amylase, and<br />
esterase. These enzymes in daikon juice are<br />
known to break down mucus and phlegm in <strong>the</strong><br />
respiratory system. So next time you are a bit<br />
under <strong>the</strong> wea<strong>the</strong>r, chop daikon into small cubes,<br />
put <strong>the</strong>m into a container, and cover <strong>the</strong>m with<br />
honey. Leave <strong>the</strong>m in fridge overnight and drink <strong>the</strong><br />
juice! You will be on your way back to a healthy<br />
you! Daikon honey juice is excellent for coughs<br />
and sore throat. But it smells…<br />
