The Kenko Wellness Lounge is now open - come drop in for classes! Experiences make the differences - At Robert Nimi Nikkei Home, we provide resident and community-based programs that engage seniors on a social, educational, and communal level. Our Lounge provides a place for community members to come and relax, stay active, and learn. Our programs serve seniors with a variety of needs and levels of independence.
