            RECOGNIZING KIN ON FOR THEIR 30 YEARS OF SERVICE

                                 ______
                                 

                            HON. ADAM SMITH

                             of washington

                    in the house of representatives

                      Wednesday, November 4, 2015

  Mr. SMITH of Washington. Mr. Speaker, I rise to recognize the Kin On 
organization and its thirty years of service to the senior citizens of 
the Seattle area.
  From the beginning, Kin On has been an important part of our 
community and has been integral to serving seniors with respect and 
dignity. Through their provision of health, social, and education 
services, Kin On encourages Asian adults and seniors to remain 
mentally, physically, and socially active. Programs like these are 
models for other care facilities, as they keep seniors engaged and 
healthy in comprehensive and culturally sensitive ways.
  It is also encouraging to know that Kin On will expand its services 
and facilities in Seattle, expanding their capacity to serve the 
community. I am confident that the addition of a community center, 
assisted living, and adult family home--as well as a short-term rehab 
and sun room--will greatly enhance the experiences of those who benefit 
from Kin On's wide array of services.
  Once again, I want to thank Kin On for its service and congratulate 
them on thirty years of hard work and success in serving our senior 
community. I look forward to hearing about their future 
accomplishments.
