New Partners: Accountable Care Organizations <strong>and</strong><br />

Managed Care Organizations<br />

Accountable Care Organizations (ACOs)<br />

coordinate care for those who participate in Medicare<br />

<strong>and</strong> managed Medicare plans. They strive to provide<br />

a continuum <strong>of</strong> high-quality care including rehabilitation<br />

<strong>and</strong> manage costs through their network <strong>of</strong> providers (like<br />

Seattle Keiro). The ACOs maintain high expectations <strong>of</strong><br />

their partners so that you receive the most effective care<br />

with the best results.<br />

Managed Care Organizations (MCOs) serve<br />

those who are eligible for both Medicaid <strong>and</strong> Medicare<br />

(dual-eligible individuals). MCOs will deliver Medicaid<br />

benefits through their own network <strong>of</strong> care providers.<br />

Next steps For Medicare, know your plan <strong>and</strong><br />

confirm that it meets your needs. Discover what services<br />

<strong>and</strong> providers matter to you, as you have many options<br />

for your care <strong>and</strong> that <strong>of</strong> your loved ones. Ensure that your<br />

plan matches up with your preferences <strong>and</strong> requirements.<br />

For Medicaid, dual-eligible residents at Seattle Keiro will<br />

sign up with one <strong>of</strong> the MCOs in 2014, <strong>and</strong> we will<br />

continue our 5-star service.<br />

OUR MISSION<br />

To enrich <strong>and</strong> support the lives<br />

<strong>of</strong> elders <strong>and</strong> meet their needs in<br />

a way that honors <strong>and</strong> respects<br />

<strong>Nikkei</strong> culture <strong>and</strong> values.<br />

Dear Friends,<br />

Change <strong>and</strong> growth have always been intrinsic to <strong>Nikkei</strong> <strong>Concerns</strong>, <strong>and</strong> we continue to evolve. We listen to the community <strong>and</strong><br />

constantly strive to anticipate <strong>and</strong> meet its needs. From our original focus on the Issei, we have exp<strong>and</strong>ed our services to embrace<br />

the Nisei, Sansei, <strong>and</strong> all <strong>of</strong> the younger generations, including the Shin-issei <strong>and</strong> the blended families that are enriching our lives.<br />

<strong>Nikkei</strong> <strong>Concerns</strong> continues to focus on quality <strong>of</strong> life, through culture, respect, trust, <strong>and</strong> kimochi.<br />

Thank you to all who participated in the Puget Sound Asian Senior Care Survey. Your answers will help guide the<br />

Board as we tackle new challenges. <strong>Healthcare</strong> reform <strong>and</strong> high expectations <strong>of</strong> a new generation have a huge impact on <strong>Nikkei</strong><br />

<strong>Concerns</strong>, <strong>and</strong> the Board will take all into consideration as we determine our future direction. We value your guidance <strong>and</strong> support.<br />

With a sad heart, I bid farewell to Teresa Sato, <strong>Nikkei</strong> <strong>Concerns</strong> Board Secretary (2012-2013), as she relocates to Texas. I<br />

thank her for her service to the community <strong>and</strong> <strong>Nikkei</strong> <strong>Concerns</strong>, <strong>and</strong> I congratulate her on her promotion. She has been a great<br />

asset to the Board, both as a director <strong>and</strong> as an <strong>of</strong>ficer.<br />

Thank you!<br />

Dear Friends,<br />

Sincerely,<br />

Ted Tomita<br />

Board President<br />

2013 is truly a significant year for <strong>Nikkei</strong> <strong>Concerns</strong> (NC). We are in the midst <strong>of</strong> unprecedented change, with health care reform<br />

dictating new ways <strong>of</strong> providing a continuum <strong>of</strong> care, higher accountability to clinical outcomes, <strong>and</strong> new reimbursement models,<br />

all while impacting individual choice. At the same time, we are experiencing an evolution <strong>of</strong> our own community. To prepare, we<br />

embarked on two major initiatives:<br />

• NC Way survey asking current residents, participants, <strong>and</strong> family members to share their thoughts on how we are performing<br />

in respect to the Board’s “Results” <strong>and</strong> NC Way Values. 180 responded! The overall “rating” was gratifying <strong>and</strong> the feedback<br />

extremely helpful in underst<strong>and</strong>ing what we do well <strong>and</strong> how we can enhance our service.<br />

• Commissioned an elaborate research/analysis effort via the Blue Ribbon Committee to study community demographics, health<br />

care reform policies/industry trends, <strong>and</strong> the “Voice <strong>of</strong> the Customer” that included focus groups <strong>and</strong> a needs assessment<br />

survey <strong>and</strong> garnered over 1,000 responses! We learned much about what the future may portend.<br />

I am so grateful to all who contributed to growing our knowledge… there are challenges ahead, but opportunity abounds to<br />

enhance our service AND honor our legacy… <strong>and</strong> we are working on this now! To paraphrase my middle school librarian,<br />

Mary Henry, “I am amazed at how NC has adapted to ever-changing needs/circumstances to care for an entire spectrum <strong>of</strong><br />

people.” I agree!<br />

How does this happen I was reminded <strong>of</strong> this recently when I went to get my mail around 7 p.m. on a Friday… it took me an<br />

hour to return to my <strong>of</strong>fice! This happens <strong>of</strong>ten… for I “bumped” into family members, residents, <strong>and</strong> staff <strong>and</strong> had wonderful<br />

conversations… some with laughter… some with a little sadness… all in the spirit <strong>of</strong> respect, trust, kimochi, quality <strong>of</strong> life <strong>and</strong><br />

family for <strong>and</strong> with our community. This is the NC Way <strong>and</strong> will always serve as the foundation on how we “feel, think <strong>and</strong> do”<br />

today… <strong>and</strong> tomorrow.<br />

A gift from Hammerin’ Hank<br />

The late Henry Hammerin’ Hank Taniguchi was a man<br />

who lived life fully despite painful personal losses in the<br />

WWII Hiroshima bombing. He was a single h<strong>and</strong>icap<br />

golfer with a powerful swing, a tenor who sang at<br />

family gatherings, an accomplished ballroom dancer,<br />

a jewelry craftsman, a world traveler, a fashion plate<br />

extraordinaire, <strong>and</strong> a connoisseur <strong>of</strong> European cars.<br />

Henry cared about business friends; golf buddies in<br />

Seattle, California <strong>and</strong> Hawaii; <strong>and</strong> the neighborhood<br />

Starbucks baristas (where his photo sat on the counter<br />

following his death) <strong>and</strong> <strong>of</strong>fered words <strong>of</strong> wisdom when<br />

asked. He was a truly remarkable man who overcame<br />

tragedy <strong>and</strong> sadness to live a life full <strong>of</strong> joy <strong>and</strong><br />

generosity, a man beloved by many<br />

Ray Kihara, close family friend<br />

Henry Taniguchi, doing what<br />

he loved best<br />

He combined his love <strong>of</strong> golf with his belief in community <strong>and</strong> played in the first two <strong>Nikkei</strong><br />

<strong>Concerns</strong> Founders’ Golf benefits. A generous donor, he honored the people he loved <strong>and</strong><br />

supported our dreams through capital campaigns for both Seattle Keiro <strong>and</strong> <strong>Nikkei</strong> Manor.<br />

<strong>Nikkei</strong> <strong>Concerns</strong> expresses our pr<strong>of</strong>ound gratitude to Henry Taniguchi for his very generous<br />

bequest <strong>of</strong> $284,700. We are touched by his thoughtfulness <strong>and</strong> kindness.<br />

NC Way Survey helps embed our values<br />

A few months ago, we put our<br />

customer service <strong>and</strong> core values<br />

to the test with a short survey <strong>of</strong> our<br />

program participants <strong>and</strong> family<br />

members. NC Family members<br />

provided feedback on how well we<br />

follow through on our core values<br />

<strong>of</strong> Respect, Trust, Kimochi<br />

(compassion), Quality <strong>of</strong> Life,<br />

<strong>and</strong> Family as well as the NC Way.<br />

How did we do The short<br />

answer is great! Our<br />

four programs (<strong>Nikkei</strong><br />

Horizons, Kokoro Kai,<br />

<strong>Nikkei</strong> Manor, <strong>and</strong><br />

Seattle Keiro) scored<br />

an average 9 out <strong>of</strong><br />

a possible 10 (10<br />

being the best) across<br />

all 10 questions.<br />

We received 180<br />

completed surveys<br />

with many comments.<br />

The long answer<br />

is that this survey<br />

reflects a moment<br />

in time <strong>and</strong> doesn’t<br />

give us permission to<br />

be satisfied with the<br />

status quo. We will<br />

Respect<br />

continuously strive to improve in all<br />

areas.<br />

In particular, our program managers<br />

reviewed, discussed, analyzed, <strong>and</strong><br />

shared the comments throughout<br />

<strong>Nikkei</strong> <strong>Concerns</strong>. It was wonderful<br />

to receive heartfelt feedback like,<br />

“There has never been a day when<br />

the employees <strong>and</strong>/or volunteers<br />

didn’t make us feel welcome.” Other<br />

comments focused on specific areas<br />

Trust<br />

Kimochi<br />

Quality <strong>of</strong> Life<br />

Family<br />

Average Scores<br />

where we could improve the customer<br />

experience. (See sidebar for our<br />

response to the surveys.)<br />

Many thanks to all who participated<br />

in the survey. Your input helps NC<br />

staff <strong>and</strong> management underst<strong>and</strong><br />

how these post-survey initiatives<br />

directly relate to their everyday jobs.<br />

We hope we can count on your input<br />

in future surveys.<br />

Relating these scores to our core values, the results supports our effort in “Making every day the best day.”<br />

Fresh perspective from NC’s new CFO<br />

“The older you get, you realize you don’t know everything,”<br />

fine wisdom for the quickly changing world <strong>of</strong> healthcare,<br />

shared by <strong>Nikkei</strong> <strong>Concerns</strong>’ new Chief Financial Officer, Tina<br />

Masuda Draughon. She launched her NC career on July 22<br />

<strong>and</strong> is ready to “be a part <strong>of</strong> the vision <strong>and</strong> future <strong>of</strong> NC.”<br />

Tina fully embraces the NC Way <strong>and</strong> the values that are<br />

fundamental to all that we do. Of our core values (respect,<br />

trust, kimochi/compassion, quality <strong>of</strong> life, family), kimochi<br />

resonates with her the most. To her, it encompasses all <strong>of</strong><br />

our values, adding dimension <strong>and</strong> humanity to each <strong>of</strong> the others.<br />

Tina has a first-h<strong>and</strong> appreciation for the care <strong>and</strong> concern that the volunteers<br />

<strong>and</strong> staff give to the residents, participants, <strong>and</strong> their families. Tina’s mom<br />

resided at Seattle Keiro, <strong>and</strong> her aunt currently attends Kokoro Kai. Her<br />

experiences focus her on people <strong>and</strong> how <strong>Nikkei</strong> <strong>Concerns</strong> will make every<br />

day the best day.<br />

Smart, savvy, <strong>and</strong> prepared to face all challenges, Tina has extensive <strong>and</strong><br />

diverse experiences serving in fiscal leadership roles including CFO, primarily<br />

with not-for-pr<strong>of</strong>it organizations <strong>and</strong> government agencies.<br />

Far more than a number cruncher, Tina can see both the big picture as well<br />

as the fine details. “I intend to build on the solid financial foundation that<br />

has been established <strong>and</strong> partner with Jeffrey [Hattori, CEO] to explore<br />

new opportunities <strong>and</strong> strategies that will ensure a stronger future for <strong>Nikkei</strong><br />

<strong>Concerns</strong>, staying true to our mission <strong>and</strong> core values.” <strong>Nikkei</strong> <strong>Concerns</strong> is<br />

lucky to have Tina on board, <strong>and</strong> her combination <strong>of</strong> dedication, skills, <strong>and</strong><br />

talent will undoubtedly lead <strong>Nikkei</strong> <strong>Concerns</strong> to a secure future.<br />

for all <strong>of</strong> these years.<br />

giveBIG One-day Charitable<br />

Campaign<br />

In 24 hours, we raised over $20,000!<br />

giveBIG, The Seattle Foundation’s<br />

annual one-day online giving event, raised<br />

awareness about the power <strong>of</strong> charitable<br />

giving. The 122 generous <strong>Nikkei</strong> <strong>Concerns</strong><br />

donors increased the power <strong>of</strong> their gifts<br />

with an additional $1800 from The Seattle<br />

Foundation’s “Stretch” pool <strong>of</strong> funds. The<br />

popularity <strong>of</strong> this event grows every year,<br />

<strong>and</strong> so have our contributions! Domo arigato<br />

gozaimasu to all who participated, spread<br />

the word, <strong>and</strong> helped make every day the<br />

best day for the residents <strong>and</strong> participants <strong>of</strong><br />

<strong>Nikkei</strong> <strong>Concerns</strong>.<br />

Kimono Fashion Presentation<br />

Kimono Master Yu Ugawa’s bride<br />

was the crowning glory<br />

<strong>of</strong> her incredible fashion<br />

show. The many beautiful<br />

kimono, provided by<br />

Kimono Art, embraced<br />

both the traditional art<br />

<strong>and</strong> modern interpretation.<br />

The models (including<br />

<strong>Nikkei</strong> <strong>Concerns</strong> co-founder<br />

Tomio Moriguchi <strong>and</strong> CEO<br />

Jeffrey Hattori) presented<br />

the kimono with style<br />

<strong>and</strong> elegance, eliciting<br />

oohs <strong>and</strong> aahs from<br />

the audience.<br />

Silver Star Awards<br />

NC in the community:<br />

LeadingAge <strong>of</strong> Washington honored four <strong>of</strong> our employees with<br />

the Silver Star Award. Carlota Baldoz, Teresita Pagulayan, Myung<br />

Song, <strong>and</strong> Kinuyo Yokoyama have all worked at <strong>Nikkei</strong> <strong>Concerns</strong><br />

25 or more years. Congratulations <strong>and</strong> domo arigato, ladies!<br />

Kawabe Memorial House<br />

<strong>Nikkei</strong> <strong>Concerns</strong> shared some health <strong>and</strong> wellness<br />

wisdom <strong>and</strong> met some great people at Kawabe’s Health<br />

Fair. We also premiered our upcoming Living Well<br />

Listening to the “voice <strong>of</strong> the customer”<br />

<strong>Nikkei</strong> <strong>Concerns</strong> launched the Puget Sound Asian<br />

Senior Care Survey to gain concrete data on<br />

expectations <strong>and</strong> needs regarding the senior healthcare<br />

experience. Almost 1000 members <strong>of</strong> the API community<br />

shared their opinions. Respondents confirmed our belief<br />

that culture, healthcare services, lifestyle, <strong>and</strong> reputation<br />

are all important, but found significant variations. Our Blue<br />

Ribbon Committee, a volunteer group <strong>of</strong> pr<strong>of</strong>essionals from<br />

the community who are experts in a variety <strong>of</strong> disciplines,<br />

incorporated their findings into their work on potential<br />

future scenarios <strong>and</strong> presented them to the NC Board <strong>of</strong><br />

Directors in August.<br />

On the road with NC<br />

Wheels are in motion to exp<strong>and</strong> our transportation<br />

service. We are contracting with Logisticare <strong>and</strong><br />

looking into additional programs to leverage our resources<br />

<strong>and</strong> generate revenue. Our routes will continue to serve<br />

residents at Seattle Keiro <strong>and</strong> <strong>Nikkei</strong> Manor, along with<br />

participants <strong>of</strong> Kokoro Kai <strong>and</strong> <strong>Nikkei</strong> Horizons. As our<br />

program grows, we hope to serve community individuals<br />

<strong>and</strong> other organizations. NC residents <strong>and</strong> participants<br />

are always our first priority, but we are pleased to<br />

increase our community participation.<br />

NC going digital<br />

We are currently investigating several electronic<br />

health records systems to enhance NC’s service.<br />

For the residents, this will mean better care through<br />

improved health assessments <strong>and</strong> the power to quickly<br />

provide complete information to doctors <strong>and</strong> hospitals.<br />

FAMILY ALBUM<br />

The <strong>Nikkei</strong> <strong>Concerns</strong> Family has great moments<br />

to preserve <strong>and</strong> share. As a family, we embrace<br />

the residents, participants, volunteers, staff,<br />

<strong>and</strong> community members. We honor long-held<br />

traditions <strong>and</strong> value kind gestures <strong>of</strong> friendship<br />

<strong>and</strong> love. Our Family Album is full <strong>of</strong> precious<br />

<strong>and</strong> treasured memories.<br />

Volunteer Vanessa Lin <strong>and</strong> Seattle<br />

Keiro Resident Minheng Zhou soak<br />

in some sun, munch on some snacks,<br />

<strong>and</strong> cheer on the Mariners with other<br />

residents, volunteers, <strong>and</strong> staff. The<br />

Mariners may not have won, but<br />

everyone had a winning time.<br />

Kampai! Lori Harada <strong>and</strong> Mariko<br />

Alberson hold their Tully’s cups up<br />

high! The weekly “C<strong>of</strong>fee Walk”<br />

gives participants the opportunity to<br />

enjoy each other’s company <strong>and</strong> a<br />

hot cup-<strong>of</strong>-joe!<br />

Meri Shimada <strong>and</strong> Nobi Otsuji<br />

pondered their choices for lunch.<br />

The <strong>Nikkei</strong> Horizons Lunch Bunch<br />

converged on Rock the Dock Pub &<br />

Grill on the waterfront in Tacoma. If<br />

you’re eager to make new friends<br />

<strong>and</strong> try new restaurants, join the<br />

Lunch Bunch in Fall Quarter!<br />

Kokoro Kai participants Akiko<br />

Wyl<strong>and</strong> <strong>and</strong> Setsuko Ainsworth<br />

dressed up for Tanabata <strong>and</strong> led<br />

the dancing. They <strong>and</strong> all <strong>of</strong> Kokoro<br />

Kai hope that your Tanabata wishes<br />

all come true!<br />

The Asian Senior <strong>Concerns</strong> Dancers<br />

put on a great show for the Seattle<br />

Keiro residents, dancing <strong>and</strong> singing<br />

with energy <strong>and</strong> passion. Many<br />

thanks to Dr. I-Jen Chen <strong>and</strong> the other<br />

performers for sharing their time with<br />

us <strong>and</strong> bringing joy to the residents.<br />

NC historian Mary Henry shares the NC Way<br />

Local historian <strong>and</strong> writer Mary<br />

T. Henry not only embodies<br />

our core values but tells our story<br />

through her writing. She shares<br />

<strong>Nikkei</strong> <strong>Concerns</strong> with her vast<br />

circle <strong>of</strong> friends <strong>and</strong> is amazed<br />

at how we have adapted<br />

to ever-changing needs <strong>and</strong><br />

circumstances over the years.<br />

Mary discovered <strong>Nikkei</strong> <strong>Concerns</strong> as she wrote about Dr.<br />

Ruby Inouye Shu <strong>and</strong> was inspired to learn about us. She<br />

views NC as a very unique organization <strong>and</strong> is thrilled<br />

that we “take care <strong>of</strong> an entire spectrum <strong>of</strong> people.” Of<br />

all <strong>of</strong> her historical pieces, she enjoyed researching our<br />

project the most, <strong>and</strong> according to her, “the best part <strong>of</strong><br />

it all is that the CEO was one <strong>of</strong> my students!” (NC CEO<br />

Jeffrey Hattori was a student at Southshore Middle School,<br />

where she illuminated the students as their librarian.)<br />

Mary makes every day the best day, for herself <strong>and</strong><br />

everyone around her. She has written 75 essays for<br />

historylink.org, a free online historical encyclopedia,<br />

<strong>and</strong> a volume on the African American origins <strong>of</strong> many<br />

significant Seattle locales. Family is important, but at<br />

almost 90, she embraces health <strong>and</strong> wellness for herself<br />

as well. The Missouri native walks two miles daily <strong>and</strong><br />

composes haiku. (She likes the challenge.)<br />

And yes, she’s considering taking a class with <strong>Nikkei</strong><br />

Horizons, so if you see her on one <strong>of</strong> our adventures or in<br />

a class, say “hi!”<br />

Mary’s essays on <strong>Nikkei</strong> <strong>Concerns</strong> <strong>and</strong> Dr. Ruby Inouye<br />

Shu are featured on historylink.org.<br />

Mizu Yokan<br />

<strong>Nikkei</strong> Manor recently served this classic Japanese dessert to the residents.<br />

The yokan was natsukashii, evoking memories <strong>of</strong> hot summer nights <strong>of</strong> long<br />

ago. It was a “real treat” for the residents, just right for this time <strong>of</strong> year.<br />

最 近 、 日 系 マナーのキッチンから 登 場 した 典 型 的 な 和 菓 子 のデザートがあります。 日 本 の 夏 を 代 表 す<br />

る “ 懐 かしい “ 和 菓 子 “ 水 羊 羹 “ です。 入 居 者 はこの 季 節 にぴったりの 味 を 満 喫 したことでしょう。<br />

Be Genki!<br />

5 More Cool Summer Tips<br />

If you must exert yourself when it’s hot, take<br />

advantage <strong>of</strong> cooler times in early morning or<br />

late evening.<br />

Be Genki!<br />

Take a shower with cool or tepid water <strong>and</strong><br />

go barefoot.<br />

Sleep downstairs if your bedroom is on the<br />

second floor. Warm air rises.<br />

Make sure the elderly, infants, <strong>and</strong> anyone<br />

with a chronic illness stay hydrated. They are<br />

more susceptible to the heat.<br />

Protect your pets from dehydration <strong>and</strong> heatrelated<br />

illness. Give them shady spaces to<br />

rest, ample water, <strong>and</strong> never leave your pet<br />

unattended in a vehicle.<br />

快 適 に 夏 をのりきるための5つのポイント<br />

暑 い 夏 にしなければならないことがある 場 合 は 早 朝 や<br />

夕 方 の 涼 しい 時 間 を 活 用 しましょう。<br />

シャワーの 温 度 は、ぬるめ、やや 低 温 で 浴 びましょう。<br />

そして 素 足 で 過 ごすのもいいです。<br />

暖 かい 空 気 は 上 のほうにたまります。 寝 室 が2 階 にあ<br />

る 場 合 、 夏 の 間 は 涼 しい 下 の 階 で 睡 眠 をとるようにしま<br />

しょう。<br />

高 齢 の 方 、 小 さなお 子 さん、 病 気 がちの 方 は、 気 温 の 上<br />

昇 とともに 体 調 をくずしやすいので 十 分 な 水 分 の 補 給<br />

に 気 をつけましょう。<br />

ペットを 脱 水 症 と 熱 中 症 状 から 守 りましょう。 日 陰 で 休<br />

ませ、 十 分 な 水 を 与 え、ペットを 車 の 中 にのこしたりし<br />

ないように 気 をつけましょう。<br />
