U.S. News & World Report rated ACC Care Center one of its Best Nursing Homes in the country for 2021 and 2022. Our short-term rehabilitation and long-term care earned the High Performing status rating, making the Care Center among the top 13 percent of the nation’s facilities for these types of care.
This award reinforces what we already know about our Care Center, that it sets the gold standard for compassionate, culturally appropriate healthcare. It opened in 1987 as the first skilled nursing facility in Sacramento to address the culture, language, and dietary needs of elderly Asians. Today, ACC Care Center serves everyone.
Our staff and volunteers take pride in the stellar care our residents receive and are thrilled to see our team’s hard work rewarded on a national level.
“Congratulations to Care Center Administrator Tamara Kario and the Care Center staff,” ACC board chair Jean Shiomoto said about the ratings. “We are extremely proud of this national recognition by U.S. News & World Report accomplished by the leadership of Tamara and the dedicated staff. Their unwavering commitment to the residents and their families is deeply appreciated by the ACC Board of Directors and the ACC Community.”
This year’s ratings carried additional requirements, making the award even more prestigious. U.S. News & World Report required at least 75 percent staff vaccination rate. Of more than 15,000 skilled nursing facilities evaluated in the ratings, barely 2,000 earned a single High Performing rating. ACC Care Center’s 100 percent staff and resident COVID-19 vaccination rate earned it both ratings for short-term rehabilitation and long-term care.
As part of ACC’s 50th anniversary celebration, Jean Shiomoto and Ted Fong have written an article about how the Care Center got started. Their article is on page 6.
Congratulations to the Care Center team for these much-deserved awards!
