ACC Care Center has been recognized as a Best Nursing Home for 2025 by U.S. News & World Report. ACC Care Center has received recognition for both Short-term and Long-term Care and is one of only 3 Sacramento Skilled Nursing communities to receive dual recognition.
The evening honored the inaugural ACC Founders Award recipients, Mr. Angelo Tsakopoulos and Congresswoman Doris Matusi. Mr. Tsakopoulos made the dream possible when he donated his 3.5 acres of land that the Care Center sits on today. Congresswoman Doris Matsui and her late husband, Congressman Robert Matsui, were instrumental in taking the idea of culturally sensitive senior care and making it a reality! Without the support of Mr. Tsakopoulos and the Matsui Family, alongside the powerful Bingo volunteers, the ACC Care Center would not be where it is today.
ACC’s 3rd Annual Ohana Walk was held on September 7th, 2024 with over 700 walkers in attendance!

On May 2nd, 2024, ACC hosted a 5 hour livestreamed telethon for the Annual Big Day of Giving. Viewers were entertained by musical talents such as Broadway star Dina Morishta, George Connor and Mary Nakamura (Asian Pair), Clementine Brass Band and so many more! Tastebuds salivated with cooking demos by Lana Chong, Jonathan and Katie of local favorite Cacio and our very own Chef Tim Hirabayashi from ACC Maple Tree Village. We heard messages from our local elected officials Supervisor Patrick Kennedy, Councilmember Rick Jennings and Assemblymember Stephanie Nguyen.
During the evenings, we showcased many of our ACC programs, services, residential communities and clubs. Honoring longtime volunteer Art Imigire and a wonderful heartfelt tribute to an ACC pioneer, Mickey Yamadera.
Our in-person audience enjoyed friendship as they enjoyed the wonderful food and bake sale. A special thank you to volunteer Debbie Seid and her crew of ladies who worked all afternoon to get everyone’s orders packed up and ready to go! From chicken teriyaki bowls to spam musubi, it was a sell out!
Another big thank you to Jean Shiomoto and her crew of volunteer bakers who made the amazing spread of baked goodies!

What a spectacular April morning it was for golf! 148 golfers embarked on a full day celebration supporting ACC Senior Services. Beginning with breakfast burritos, coffee and juice, sponsored by Winston Ashizawa (past board chair) & Jean Shiomoto (current board chair), the Teal Bend club house was a-buzz with excitement as Jean Shiomoto and Connie Rusynyk (President & CEO of ACC) gave a warm welcome and sent the golfers on their way. As the golfers departed in the golf carts and moved about the course, you could see the joy and excitement in catching up with old and new friends alike.
From the Ladder Game to Hole-in-One cash prize opportunities, thank you to Winston Ashizawa and William Yee for their sponsorship, there was excitement around every turn. Thank you to hole sponsor Connie Van Real Estate for providing warm homemade chicken Pho as golfers approached Hole 10.
As the golfers finished their last hole, they hopped on over to ACC Campus to hear the results of the morning. Thank you to Herbert & Inez Yee Foundation and the Yee Law Firm for their sponsorship of the L&L BBQ bento lunch that followed. A special thank you to our crew of volunteer bakers who brought in trays of freshly baked goodies for dessert! What a treat!
Thank you to all of our hole sponsors, in-kind donors, army of volunteers & committee members – your support of ACC Senior Services is very much appreciated and helps to impact the lives of those in our community.

When ACC was founded in 1972, K.W. was a 43-year-old investigative reporter for The Sacramento Union. He wrote a series of articles about Leo Goto’s pioneering efforts to build a Japanese community and cultural center in Sacramento. This helped Leo galvanize community support and incorporate the Japanese Community Center of Sacramento Valley (JCC), which today is ACC Senior Services.
On the brisk morning of Saturday, September 16th, 2023, over 700 walkers gathered in the parking lot of ACC Senior Services – ready to take off on their choice of a 1 mile- 2 mile- 3 mile route around the Pocket Canal Parkway.
