Growing More Than Vegetables at ACC’s Community Garden

Mike Lee and Dani Yonai — Thu, 16 Jul 2026 17:37:41 +0000

Have you been out to see ACC’s garden yet? Many people still don’t know that ACC has a community garden tucked behind our building at the far end of the field. This year, 45 seniors are gardening in nearly 30 plots, and there’s something new to discover every time you visit. You’ll find everything: corn and tomatoes to flowers, herbs, and even melons growing throughout the garden.
One of the best things about the garden is seeing how each person makes their plot their own. Every gardener has a unique way of growing and caring for their plants. At the front of the garden, you’ll also notice eight raised dark-green planters that are built at a comfortable height, making it easier for seniors to garden without bending over. These planters help keep the program accessible for people with mobility challenges and physical limitations.
Our gardeners are a diverse and inspiring group. Two participants are over 90 years old, and six gardeners are blind or have low vision. Several volunteers help support these gardeners by assisting with tasks like digging holes, planting, and watering when needed.
Sharon, who has her own plot, recently helped her mom, Peggy, get started with a garden plot of her own. Peggy is 94 years old. “I’m so glad to get my mom out here,” Sharon said. “At home she was sitting too much. She loves getting out in the sunshine and seeing how each plant is progressing.”
For many participants, the garden offers much more than a place to grow vegetables. It provides a reason to get outside, stay active, and connect with others. Laverne, who has been partially blind for about three years, calls her gardening experience “vision without sight.” With the help of a volunteer, she planted tomatoes and enjoys checking on them by touch. She says gardening makes her feel happy and encouraged because it reminds her that she can still do something she loves, even without full sight. Another blind gardener was thrilled last year when she got to feel a fully grown ear of corn on the stalk.
The garden has become a place where seniors can stay active, enjoy nature, learn from one another, and build friendships. While each gardener takes care of their own plot, many look forward to sharing some of their harvest with ACC social groups and fellow participants.
If you’re interested in joining the garden this fall, please reach out to program staff for more information.

Celebrating 5,000 Walks: A Milestone of Connection, Community, and Care

Remy Tokunaga — Mon, 13 Jul 2026 16:57:08 +0000

On June 18th, 2026, the ACC Community Room was filled with laughter, stories, and smiles as more than 50 Senior Escort Program (SEP) participants, volunteers, staff, and community partners gathered to celebrate an incredible milestone: 5,000 completed walks.

While 5,000 is an impressive number, the celebration was about so much more than the walks themselves. Each walk represents a moment of connection, a conversation shared, a helping hand offered, and a reminder that no one has to navigate life alone.

Guests enjoyed lunch together, reminisced about favorite memories from the program, and stepped into a photo booth to capture the “little moments” that make the Senior Escort Program so special. The photos served as a meaningful reminder that sometimes it’s the simplest moments – a shared smile, a walk around the neighborhood, or a conversation between friends – that leave the greatest impact.

The Senior Escort Program was launched in 2022 in response to the rise in anti-Asian hate incidents targeting older adults. What began as a way to help seniors feel safer while walking in their neighborhoods, grocery shopping, or navigating medical appointments, has grown into a vibrant community built on trust, compassion, and friendship. Today, the program is open to all seniors, creating opportunities for people of all backgrounds to build meaningful relationships while promoting safety, independence, and healthy aging.

Throughout the celebration, attendees reflected on the many friendships that have blossomed over the past several years. Volunteers have faithfully shown up week after week, generously giving their time to walk alongside participants through life’s everyday moments, both joyful and challenging. In return, participants have inspired volunteers with their resilience, wisdom, and kindness, reminding us all of the importance of staying connected as we age.

A moment shared during the celebration came from a story shared about a participant after an intergenerational walk with local eighth-grade students. The participant said, “I might not always be able to walk, but I’m always going to remember this moment.” Those words perfectly capture what the Senior Escort Program is all about. It’s not simply about reaching a destination. It’s about creating memories and relationships that last long after the walk is over.

ner who has helped make these first 5,000 walks possible. Together, we’ve built more than a program, we’ve built a community. And we can’t wait to see where the next 5,000 walks take us.

As we celebrate this milestone, we’re also looking ahead. Every new volunteer, participant, and community partnership helps extend this circle of care to even more older adults. Whether it’s sharing the program with a friend, volunteering your time, or partnering with ACC to strengthen our community, each new connection helps write the next chapter of our story.

We’d like to thank every participant, volunteer, supporter, and partner who has helped make these first 5,000 walks possible. Together, we’ve built more than a program, we’ve built a community. And we can’t wait to see where the next 5,000 walks take us.

Ready to Help Us Take the Next Step?

The next 5,000 walks begin with one simple step—and that step could be yours.

Whether you’re looking to make a difference as a volunteer, seeking companionship and support as a participant, or investing in healthier, more connected communities through a charitable gift, there’s a place for you in the Senior Escort Program.

Every hour volunteered, every dollar donated, and every new participant welcomed helps reduce social isolation, promote healthy aging, and create meaningful connections that change lives.

Join us in ensuring that no older adult has to walk alone. Together, we can build a stronger, more compassionate community—one walk, one friendship, and one life at a time.

Become a volunteer. Enroll as a participant. Make a donation. Be part of the next 5,000 walks.

On the go with Elvyra Abare – Maple Tree Village’s new Executive Director

Mike Marando — Fri, 10 Jul 2026 16:52:15 +0000

If Elvyra Abare’s name rings a bell at ACC Senior Services, there’s a good reason. Nearly a decade ago, she was working behind the scenes as a volunteer and later as Director of Staff Development and Administrator in Training at the ACC Care Center, while ACC Maple Tree Village was still just a vision. Now, she’s returned to the ACC family—this time as Executive Director of Maple Tree Village—and in less than three months, she’s already making a strong impression.

Born in Kherson, Ukraine, Elvyra trained as a nurse and earned a master’s degree before immigrating to the United States 26 years ago in search of greater opportunity. Like many who start over in a new country, she rebuilt her career from the ground up—earning her CNA certification in Sacramento and working across skilled nursing settings before rising into leadership.

She now brings more than 20 years of experience across continuing care retirement communities, assisted living, and skilled nursing. Her resume includes executive leadership roles at Canterbury Woods in Pacific Grove, Webster House in Palo Alto, and most recently as Chief Operating Officer at Channing House. Along the way, she’s built a reputation for strengthening operations, improving care quality, and leading high-performing teams.
But for Elvyra, the work has always been personal. “When I was 12, my grandmother fractured her hip,” she recalls. “At that time, in the Soviet Union, surgery wasn’t an option. She lived in constant pain, and as grandchildren, we helped care for her. That experience stayed with me—it’s why I chose healthcare.”

At Maple Tree Village, what stands out most to her isn’t just the care—it’s the families. “I see daughters coming in for every meal to spend time with mom. Sons stopping by daily to play pool with their dads. That kind of involvement is rare, and it warms my heart. It says a lot about this community.”

Her vision for the future is ambitious but clear: build a top-tier team, elevate services across dining, care, and enrichment, and position Maple Tree Village as a leading senior community for the broader Sacramento region. A special focus will also be placed on meaningful, personalized memory care—with strong collaboration between staff and families.
And while she’s a self-described “go-getter,” Elvyra also knows how to recharge. After work, you might find her painting delicate watercolor landscapes, kayaking along the coast, hiking, or traveling. “I like to collect life experiences,” she says.

From her earliest days as a volunteer to now leading the charge at Maple Tree Village, her journey comes full circle—igniting renewed energy, hope, and opportunity for the community she serves.

A Day on the Greens for a Greater Purpose: ACC’s 19th Annual Golf Tournament a Tremendous Success

Scott Okamoto — Sat, 06 Jun 2026 14:43:40 +0000

On Wednesday, May 20, 2026, golfers, sponsors, volunteers, and community supporters gathered at beautiful Teal Bend Golf Course for ACC Senior Services’ 19th Annual Golf Tournament—a day filled with friendly competition, meaningful connections, and unwavering support for older adults in our community.

From the moment golfers arrived for check-in and breakfast, the excitement was palpable. The morning’s shotgun start sent teams out across the course under clear skies, ready to enjoy a fantastic day of golf while making a lasting impact on the lives of Sacramento-area seniors. The tournament featured a scramble format, closest-to-the-pin contests, raffle opportunities, and plenty of camaraderie among players of all skill levels.

While the golf itself provided plenty of memorable moments, the true highlight of the day was the incredible generosity displayed by our sponsors, players, and supporters. Every registration, sponsorship, raffle ticket, and donation helps ACC Senior Services continue providing vital programs that empower older adults to age with dignity, independence, and connection.

Following the tournament, participants gathered at the ACC Campus for lunch, awards, raffle drawings, and an opportunity to celebrate the collective impact of the day’s efforts. It was inspiring to see longtime supporters reconnect with friends, welcome new participants, and unite around a shared commitment to serving seniors and family caregivers throughout our community.

Events like the ACC Golf Tournament are about much more than a round of golf. They are a testament to what can be accomplished when a community comes together to support older adults. Funds raised help sustain critical services, including senior living, transportation, caregiver support, supportive and social services, and other resources that thousands of local seniors rely upon each year.

We extend our heartfelt gratitude to every golfer, sponsor, volunteer, donor, and community partner who helped make this year’s tournament a success. Your generosity and commitment ensure that ACC Senior Services can continue its mission of enhancing the quality of life for older adults and their families.

As we celebrate another successful tournament, we are already looking forward to next year’s milestone 20^TH Anniversary Golf Tournament! Until then, thank you for helping us strengthen our community, build connections, and create brighter futures for the seniors we are privileged to serve.

Together, we are making every swing count.

Volunteer Appreciation Luncheon 2026

Scott Okamoto — Tue, 28 Apr 2026 23:44:46 +0000

April is Volunteer Appreciation Month, and on April 25, 2026, ACC proudly celebrated the incredible individuals who give their time and heart to our community.

We welcomed 109 volunteers to a special sit-down, buffet-style lunch filled with delicious dishes and meaningful moments. The menu featured smoked BBQ pork, chow mein, steamed mixed vegetables, wonton soup (with 600 wontons lovingly prepared by John’s parents!), cream cheese wontons, and refreshing boba-flavored teas.

This memorable meal was made possible thanks to generous ingredient donations from Connie Van, John Ha, and SF Market, and was prepared and served by Connie, John, and their family. A special thank you to Café La Vie owner Anh Luu for the boba tea, and to Lela Krueger for the beautiful and tasty desserts—including a watermelon fruit cake, chocolate cupcakes, and vanilla cake.

Guests enjoyed music and sound by Sean, a welcome by Jill Hays, Interim President & CEO, and captured fun moments at the photo booth, and left with swag bags filled with goodies like rice (donated by Farmer’s Rice Coop), Hawaiian Sun drinks (courtesy of Oto’s Marketplace), popcorn, chips, cookies, and sweet treats—plus a brand-new ACC Volunteer lanyard.

This event was truly a team effort, thoughtfully planned and hosted by our Volunteer Services Committee: Mary Bienko, Wes Goo, Judi Keen, and Tracy Shirasago. Our Board Members also pitched in with setup, serving, cleanup, and raffle prize donations.

As Mary Bienko shared during the event:
“Today’s lunch is a small token of our deep appreciation for all you contribute. Your commitment, hard work, and generosity are the backbone of ACC Senior Services. Every hour you volunteer and every task you complete makes a meaningful difference. Over 13,715 volunteer hours were captured in Volunteer Matters in 2025.”

To all our volunteers—thank you for everything you do. You make a difference every single day.

If you missed the invitation or were unable to make the luncheon, please contact Jasmine Holling at volunteer@accsv.org

ACC Care Center Earns 4-Star Rating from Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services

Scott Okamoto — Thu, 23 Apr 2026 00:04:14 +0000

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

ACC Care Center Earns 4-Star Rating from Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services

Sacramento, CA — [22 April, 2026] — ACC Senior Services is proud to announce that the ACC Care Center, Skilled Nursing and Rehabilitation, has been awarded a 4-star rating by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS), a significant recognition of the organization’s commitment to high-quality care and continuous improvement in skilled nursing services.

The CMS Five-Star Quality Rating System is a nationally recognized benchmark designed to help families evaluate nursing homes based on quality and performance. Ratings are determined through a comprehensive assessment that includes health inspections, staffing levels, and quality measures such as patient outcomes and care practices. Facilities are rated on a scale of one to five stars, with five being the highest.

A 4-star rating indicates above-average performance and reflects strong results across key areas, including successful health inspections, effective staffing, and measurable improvements in resident care and safety.

“I’m excited and proud to share an incredible accomplishment — our facility has achieved a 4-star rating,” said Heidi Wheeler, LVN, ACC Care Center Administrator. “A 4-star rating is not just a number — it represents improved outcomes, strong survey performance, and a culture of accountability. This milestone reflects the dedication, compassion, and hard work that each of our staff brings every day. Providing quality care in skilled nursing takes teamwork, consistency, and heart, and this recognition is a direct result of our commitment to excellence.”

ACC Senior Services Interm CEO Jill Hays also celebrated the achievement, emphasizing its impact on the broader community. “This 4-star recognition is a testament to ACC’s unwavering commitment to those we serve”, shared Hays, “Our Care Center team consistently goes above and beyond to ensure that every resident receives compassionate, person-centered care. We are incredibly proud of this accomplishment and remain focused on continuing to raise the bar for quality and innovation in senior care.”

The CMS rating system is updated regularly to reflect the most current data available, ensuring transparency and accountability across the healthcare industry. The ACC Care Center’s achievement demonstrates its ongoing efforts to enhance care delivery, prioritize resident well-being, and meet rigorous federal standards.

For more than 50 years, ACC Senior Services has served the Sacramento region with a mission to support older adults in living with dignity, independence, and connection. The ACC Care Center remains a vital part of that mission, offering skilled nursing and rehabilitation services in a compassionate and supportive environment.

Scott Okamoto — Wed, 01 Apr 2026 19:20:09 +0000

On Saturday, March 28, 2026, ACC Senior Services welcomed over seven hundred friends, supporters, and community partners to its 14th Annual Crab Feed, one of the organization’s most beloved and anticipated fundraising traditions. The evening was filled with laughter, camaraderie, incredible food, and an inspiring spirit of generosity—all in support of ACC’s mission to serve and empower seniors throughout the Sacramento region.

Ringing in the Year of the Fire Horse

Scott Okamoto — Fri, 27 Feb 2026 21:05:07 +0000

On February 27, 2026, ACC Senior Services’ Campus was filled with vibrant color, joyful music, and the warmth of community as we gathered to celebrate Lunar New Year. This FREE community event welcomed residents, participants, staff, and neighbors for an afternoon that beautifully honored tradition, culture, and togetherness.

From the moment guests arrived, the atmosphere was festive and inviting.

Thank you to everyone who attended, volunteered, performed, and helped make this day such a memorable start to the new year. We look forward to continuing to celebrate culture, community, and compassion all year long.

A Gift of Art and Tribute: Linda Louie Honors Architect Edwin Kado with Original Painting

Scott Okamoto — Thu, 20 Nov 2025 00:02:38 +0000

ACC Maple Tree Village has received a remarkable gift of an original oil painting from local artist and community supporter Linda Louie. This westward-facing landscape captures the “cool, crisp beauty of Northern California as a cloudy day sets a reflective mood along the Sacramento River.”

In Louie’s painting, the bronzy foliage of the trees lining the west bank of the river gracefully complements the swirling brushstrokes of the river, which envelop the city’s iconic landmark, The Ziggurat, a ten-story, stepped-pyramidal office building once known as The Money Store. The artist’s use of light along the riverbank creates shimmering reflections of the structure’s brutalist geometry, while the setting sun casts a warm, golden-hour glow that mirrors across the water.

This evocative piece is inspired by a photograph taken from Old Sacramento’s east bank and serves as a heartfelt tribute to ACC’s longtime friend and renowned architect, Edwin Kado. Kado, designer of The Ziggurat, described his original concept:

“I originally designed a building that cantilevered toward the river, so it was a pyramid upside down. It was twelve stories, and when you got to the top floor, it was 120 feet toward the river. The president of The Money Store thought it was interesting, but he wanted a symmetrical building. So, I suggested this shape as it connotes stability.”

The painting, gifted to ACC Maple Tree Village in Kado’s honor, celebrates his legacy as ACC’s “$1.4 million man.”

His architectural vision helped shape ACC’s many buildings including the design of Maple Tree Village itself, the renovated Park City building that now houses Meals on Wheels, several assisted living units at ACC Greenhaven Terrace, and both classrooms and offices across the ACC campus. Beyond ACC, Kado’s architectural footprint spans Sacramento, including Union Bank, the Almond Growers Visitor Center, CSU Sacramento facilities, Crossroads Shopping Center, Oto’s Marketplace, and Mahoroba Japanese Bakery.

Louie, an emerging Sacramento artist and active member of ACC’s Folk Guitar Club since 2019, originally showcased the piece during the 2025 Big Day of Giving Livestream. Her donation was made on behalf of ACC’s Music Programs and its dedicated music leaders, combining her love for art and music in a gesture of gratitude to the ACC community.

“I wanted this painting to reflect not just Sacramento’s landscape,” Louie shared, “but the creative spirit and stability that ACC and its people represent.”

The full interview with Linda Louie can be viewed on YouTube: ACC Senior Services Big Day of Giving Telethon 2025 (May 1 | 45:34).
This extraordinary gift now graces Maple Tree Village, a timeless reminder of art, architecture, and the enduring connections that make ACC a home for creativity and community.
