Celebrate Aging with Compassion and Kimochi
Choosing the right home is a significant milestone for your family, often filled with emotion.
We are here to support you at every phase. At Nikkei Manor, we believe that aging isn’t a problem to be solved. It’s a privilege to be celebrated.
Guided by our philosophy of “kimochi” (deep, heartfelt compassion), you will experience a perfect blend of Eastern traditions and Western clinical excellence.
We provide the customized care you need while maintaining your dignity, independence, and Japanese-American heritage.

BLESS the very hard working staff and volunteers of Nikkei Manor who are SO patient, compassionate and kind to my Mom who has been a resident since 2022. They have gone above and beyond their call of "duty" many times; and Mom is having a ball in her very golden years. Added bonus that they emphasize the Japanese culture, food and ways which fits with Mom's upbringing. If you are looking at a smaller ALF which truly cares about their residents; please consider Nikkei Manor for your loved ones!
