The facility offers bilingual nursing for Japanese-American seniors that need healthcare.<\/p>\n<p>Pacifica Cos., owner of Sakura Gardens, has officially announced its plans to close Sakura ICF for substantial financial loss on February 26.<\/p>\n<p>Pacficia had been going forward with a plan to renovate Sakura ICF and build an apartment complex since last year. Although a detailed schedule was not stated in the release, residents and their families are at a loss.<\/p>\n<p>When Pacific bought the facility in 2016, it did so with the approval of California Attorney General with the stipulation it will provide existing services for 5 years. However, with the contract coming to an end, the company has released its plans for closure of the facility.<\/p>\n<p>Pacifica plans to relocate about 60 residents to other Pacifica-owned facilities.<br \/>\nKei-Ai Los Angeles and Kei-Ai South Bay, however, had the biggest outbreak and deaths in nursing homes in Los Angeles.<\/p>\n<p>Organizations and politicians protesting are currently peti-tioning for services to extend. Assembly Member Al Mu-ratsuchi and Miguel Santiago has introduced a bill to prohibit care facilities from ceasing or making significant changes to the care services for nursing facilities.<br \/>\nHe is now asking for support so the bill passes the California State Legislature.<\/p>\n<p>Protest organizations have been appealing to the California Department of Justice for an extension of the 5-year service, however they have been unable to hear a conclusive answer from not only Pacifica Cos., but from the facility\u2019s former owners, Keiro Board of Directors.<\/p>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<h2>Hate crimes against Asian Americans<\/h2>\n<p>Hate crime towards Asian Americans are creating a nationwide problem.<\/p>\n<p>Hate crime was suspected for the arson and the vandalism of Higashi Honganji Buddhist Temple that happened at the end of February.<\/p>\n<p>Although nothing serious has happened in Little Tokyo and Chinatown yet, communities and Consulate General of Japan in LA are calling attention to be vigilant.<\/p>\n<p>Report to the police for any hate crimes.<br \/>\nYou can also report to the non-profit organization, Stop AAPI Hate in Japanese.<\/p>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_separator][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<li>Love To Nippon 2021<\/li>\n<li>Hate crimes against Asian Americans<\/li>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":18623,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"socaljapan_category":[254],"socaljapan_tag":[],"class_list":["post-18614","socaljapan","type-socaljapan","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","socaljapan_category-2021-03-march"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/jhollywoodnet.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/socaljapan\/18614","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/jhollywoodnet.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/socaljapan"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/jhollywoodnet.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/socaljapan"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/jhollywoodnet.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=18614"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/jhollywoodnet.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/socaljapan\/18614\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":18616,"href":"https:\/\/jhollywoodnet.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/socaljapan\/18614\/revisions\/18616"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/jhollywoodnet.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/18623"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/jhollywoodnet.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=18614"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"socaljapan_category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/jhollywoodnet.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/socaljapan_category?post=18614"},{"taxonomy":"socaljapan_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/jhollywoodnet.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/socaljapan_tag?post=18614"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
