SOS Network comment: The fight to help residents of Sakura ICF to stay in their homes is part of a nationwide fight to defend senior rights, but it is exacerbated by the discriminatory lack of bilingual and bi-cultural senior care services for Japanese American and Japanese seniors in the United States, thus is not simply a fight for senior rights, but a fight for equality in healthcare.
