Many of the residents who move to Greenhaven Terrace hope to meet new friends or connect with their neighbors. For Mas Hatano and Yvonne Jung-Lew, the unexpected happened. They fell in love.

The two met a little over a year ago, shortly after Yvonne moved to Greenhaven Terrace. Mas had already been a longtime resident. They formed a friendship through walking; and it blossomed into much more. They would meet for dates under the gazebo at Greenhaven Terrace or at the bench at the ACC Senior Services building. Yvonne said that what she loves most about Mas is that he is easy to talk to, and Mas says that what he loves most about Yvonne is her sense of humor. 

Mas proposed to Yvonne in March 2020, but a hesitant Yvonne turned him down. It wasn’t until weeks of being apart and talking every day that she finally agreed to marry him. When asked why the change of heart, Yvonne replied that she would rather be happy for the rest of her life than be lonely. Being with Mas made her happy. 

The pair married on August 20, 2020, in a small ceremony at the Sacramento County Clerk’s office. Because of COVID-19 precautions, they were only allowed to have one witness each at the ceremony. Both of them brought one of their children to serve as witnesses. They look forward to getting to know each other’s families and hope to go on a cruise for their honeymoon in 2021. 

They are excited to continue living happily at Greenhaven Terrace, the place where they both found love again.

Launched on February 1, 2020, “IL Deluxe” offers two levels of service, Basic and Enhanced. Both include weekly bed linen service, four light housekeeping visits per month, meals, transportation, and  daily touch-base check-ins. The Enhanced package provides a greater frequency of these services for residents who have higher needs. 

“The program is wonderful and it’s great for seniors,” says resident Mitzi Erath. “The housekeeping has been the most helpful to me.”

IL Deluxe was developed by Yesenia Jones, Administrator at ACC Greenhaven Terrace. She hosted focus groups, surveying residents and family members to establish their needs. From there she worked with the ACC Greenhaven Terrace  Committee to build the Independent Living Deluxe Packages. 

“Our experience with assisted living at ACC Greenhaven Terrace inspired us to create more value for our independent living residents,” says Yesenia. “And so far, they’re liking it!”
