Better health & wellness at home Nikkei Concerns and AARP joined forces to improve health and wellness among Asian seniors at home yet living alone. With the support of a $150,000 AARP Cares grant, Nikkei Concerns launched a 6-month pilot program in March called NC Club – Aging in Community. 25 selected participants (50+ years young) in the Seattle/Bellevue area will be the first to enjoy the innovative and exciting services of NC Club. When the pilot is complete, we will make improvements based on the participants’ experiences and offer the new services to the public.
