Yu-Ai Kai Japanese American Community Senior Service

It’s still a great place for general elderly day care. As the years go on and your loved one needs more care than just going someplace for the day, the you will probably need to find another place. They are one of the many places that aren’t able to handle a person who has advanced Alzheimer’s. Let me be clear again, they are one of many businesses who lack this sort of tools, training, and service.
Most of the people who are dropped off here are old friendly bachan’s (Grandpa won’t go because of that, but then again, he’s a grump). Almost everyone from the workers to the patrons speak in Japanese. It’s quite cute if you ask me.
I am still grateful for the service they provide. It just seems that there are points in everyone’s lives that things get outgrown or you just have to move on to find something more specialized to help.
If your senior loved one just needs someone to look after them and not something a bit more advanced, then this is your place.

I have seen the beautiful work Yu-​Ai Kai does first hand. The staff is very dedicated to provide the highest quality of care and services for his clients, and plays a very focal role in the Japanese community of San Jose. They are a model for similar agencies all around the country.

I’ve been here a few times and the inside and outside are done so incredibly well it is unbelievable. Seeing hula dancing here is great!
The only reason I’m giving four stars is due to the lack of good
lighting for filming when both sides of the large room are used. It really needs to be remedied!
And the lack of parking/​the lack of better notification
of where to park. (A Japantown issue I know)
Note: the outdoor area is fenced in and is great for kids!

MAY 22^nd, 2008
True — it is a senior center… but a senior center of people who know there sake!!! So it is again that time of the year that the Sake Tasting of Japan town graces the streets of San Jose welcoming the warmth of summer and joy it has to offer. And who better to host such a festive event drawing hundreds of people to the area than those who have been partying far longer than I than those residents of the Yu-​Ai Kai Japanenese American Community Senior Service Center…
*say that 5 times fast!
So here’s the deal… you get your ticket, you get a lil wrist band thingy, and you get a lil baggy with a bottle water. but more importantly a map telling you where to go and to tell you what you will be drinking… oh yeah! Then that is when it all begins… inside the center there’s a room full of sake’s to try and from there you can go run amok anywhere up and down the streets in search of the rice juice. You’ll find obscure venues serving sake’s along with a few treats from the hosting venue itself.
*that in itself are a bunch of other reviews
At the end of the day it’s a great time spent with friends new and old, learning about the culinary digestive gem… the sake!
Sooooooo — next May… keep your ears to the ground and your livers ready for my birthda… I mean, this 3 hour drinking session.

A great place for senior services in Japantown. I love coming here and helping out when I can. They have volunteer jobs available for helping to feed seniors at lunch, delivering food to house-​bound seniors, folding newspapers (one of my favorite jobs from growing up on a flower nursery), and many other ways to help.
Plus, they have classes that are open to everyone. My sister and I took watercolor classes here a couple of times and they also have hula, line-​dancing (!!!), ukulele, koto lessons, Tai Chi, Qi Gong, yoga, etc… too many to list. They also have events like bowling, golf, fun-​runs, and newer stuff like sake-​tasting fund raisers during the year.
A truly wonderful organization serving the community.

hehe I was there last sat afternoon dropping off papers. It was my first time IN yu ai kai :] right by nichi bei bussan: D right when I came in, I saw they had an uchikake (wedding kimono) display. I stared at NOTHING, but the uchikake: DDDD yu ai kai is pretty clean and looks like I’ll be able to give people there good service :]
