INVESTIGATE THE
“DEADLIEST NURSING HOME IN CA”
KEI-AI LOS ANGELES
formerly Keiro, the iconic Japanese American community resource. We demand answers!
“We must be assured that these complaints and these lives are not swept under the rug. This community and these seniors are too precious a resource to just abandon.”
Rep. Judy Chu, Chair, Congressional Asian Pacific American Caucus (D-Pasadena)
Support Congressional Representatives, Judy Chu, Maxine Waters and Jimmy Gomez’s call for a thorough investigation into Kei-Ai L.A. Skilled Nursing Facility owned by Pacifica Co.,international resort developers who bought the former Keiro Nursing homes. The care they provided during the Covid-19 pandemic has set a dangerous pattern that disproportionately impacted the Japanese American community.
Kei-Ai had the highest number of deaths, 115, (300 beds) of any facility in the state since the pandemic.1 During this same period in 2020, the CA Veterans Administration with 2,100 beds had 2 deaths and the Jewish Homes with1,250 beds had 3 deaths.4 A shocking disparity.
The data shows substandard care in several areas: high staff turnover - 99.4%, nearly double the CA average.1 In the past three years, the facility has received 37 health citations. 33 were direct result of complaints.2
Between 2015 and 2021, Kei Ai received 105 complaints of abuse, neglect, or violations of resident rights, with nearly half substantiated. Due to these disturbing trends of poor care, lax infection control and problematic ownership structure we write to request a review of Kei Ai, its owners and its pattern of substandard patient care.
By signing this petition, I am joining in the call for a comprehensive review of Kei-Ai LA’s infection control from March 2020 - June 2022, including:
• Staffing levels, the availability of culturally/ linguistically appropriate care.
• Comprehensive interviews with residents, families and staff of Kei Ai focusing on resident rights, staff training standards and practices, and rates of staff turnover.
With the current covid-19 surge, we support Congressmembers Chu, Waters, and Gomez’s call for immediate intervention/action to expose what happened and to prevent other COVID disasters.

カリフォルニアで最も危険な養護施設 」敬愛 ロサンゼルスの を調査せよ。日系社会の象徴的な資源であった旧敬老。
我々このような苦情や命が隠蔽されることはないと確信出来るべきです。何故ならこのコミュニティと高齢者は、放棄するにはあまりにも貴重な資源だからです。- ジュディ・チュー下院議員（パサディナ選出）
パシフィカ社（旧ケイロ老人ホームを買収した国際的リゾート開発業者）が所有する敬愛L.A.介護施設、「カリフォルニアで最も危険な養護施設」、に対する徹底的な調査を求めるジュディ・チュー、マキシン・ウォーターズ、ジミー・ゴメス下院議員の訴えを支持しましょう。The LA Times 3/1/21
敬愛LAは、国際リゾート開発会社であるパシフィカ社が敬老養護施設を買収したことで所有することになりました。コロナ大流行時に行った彼らの業務は危険なパターンを呈し、日経コミュニティーに不釣り合いなインパクトを与えました。
敬愛はパンデミック以降、州内のどの施設よりも死亡者数が多く、なんと115人でした。2020年の同時期に、2,100床を有するカリフォルニア退役軍人局の死亡者数は2人、1,250床のユダヤ人ホームでは3人だったのです。このような衝撃的な格差があるのです。
職員の離職率は99.4%で、カリフォルニア州の平均のほぼ2倍です。33件は苦情が直接の原因です。
2015年から2021年の間に、敬愛は虐待、ネグレクト、または入居者の権利の侵害に関する105件の苦情を受け、その約半数が立証されました。これらの不穏なケア、甘い感染管理、問題のある所有構造の傾向のため、私たちは、Kei Ai、その所有者、およびその基準以下の患者ケアのパターンの見直しを要求するために、この手紙を書きました。
この署名によって、私は、2020年3月～2022年6月までの敬愛LAの感染管理を含む包括的な見直しを求めるこの誓願署名運動に参加します。以下の要領を含め：
- スタッフの配置レベル、文化的／言語的に適切なケアの利用可能性。
- 入居者の権利、スタッフのトレーニング基準および実践、スタッフの離職率に焦点を当てた、敬愛の入居者、家族、スタッフへの包括的なインタビュー。
現在のコロナの急増に伴い、何が起こったかを明らかにし、他のコロナD災害を防ぐために、直ちに介入／行動するよう求めるチュー議員、ウォーターズ議員、ゴメス議員の呼びかけを支持します。

The weight of the stories shared in the comments section reveals a pattern that cannot be ignored. I am currently organizing these accounts to present them directly to the oversight committees requesting a formal inquiry. This process is slow but necessary to ensure the experiences of our seniors remain at the center of the conversation.
February 12, 2023
Reaching this level of public attention confirms that our community refuses to let these tragic losses be forgotten or dismissed. The weight of this momentum makes it clear that meaningful accountability is no longer an optional conversation for those in power.

This Company needs a thoroughly complete investigation, stop Pacifica Developers and their Senior Homes’ abuse resulting in the Death of 115 innocents.
115 people died and nobody is saying anything? This is beyond horrific. We need real answers about what happened behind those doors and why the care was so terrible.
These figures and these reports are unacceptable. This must be investigated and the problems must be immediately corrected b
How can 115 deaths be overlooked? How can 115 deaths of our JA seniors be minimized? Please sign the petition to "turn on the light" to those most responsible for the unwarranted deaths of 115 JA seniors.
I support Representatives Chu, Waters and Gomez calling for a thorough and credible investigation into this skilled nursing facility and its unacceptable death rate.
