On Saturday, January 31, Keiro hosted its first Genki Living Workshops of 2026 at Tanaka Farms. Smiles were shining bright all day as guests picked their own strawberries and had a gardening lesson from UC Master Gardeners of Orange County on “Grow Food Anywhere”. We had fun in the sun with all of you and we hope to see you at our future Keiro events.

When considering caregiving services, people often focus on the financial and physical toll. However, there are usually misconceptions about the actual cost, and families are caught off guard when the care is actually needed. Care costs in California range from $23,400 to nearly $90,000 per year, depending on the type and level of support required. Families who plan ahead can compare options, gather required documentation, and prepare for the realities of caregiving.

(All care costs presented sourced from Genworth and CareScout, 2024.)

Throughout 2025, Keiro focused on completing renovations of the Keiro Kikyo Home property. As is often the case with projects of this complexity, the timeline was extended while the team worked through construction requirements to ensure that every aspect of the home meets the standards we have set for safety, quality, and long-term sustainability.

Keiro is excited to announce that renovations are complete, and the property received building inspection clearance from the City of Torrance.
