ANNOUNCING ACC MAPLE TREE VILLAGE
MARK YOUR CALENDAR!
NON PROFIT ORG. US POSTAGE PAID SACRAMENTO, CA PERMIT NO. 476
ACC Chief Executive Officer Darrick Lam stands on the 2.38 acre lot of ACC Maple Tree Village, ACC’s new assisted living and memory care facility.
On July 30, 2018, construction began on ACC’s new assisted living and memory care center on Maple Tree Way, less than a mile from ACC Senior Services. Designed by architect and long-time ACC supporter Ed Kado, ACC Maple Tree Village will provide 72 units for assisted living and 30 units for memory care in a 65,000 sq. ft. building. The anticipated completion date is in late 2019. ACC is grateful and indebted to Ed for donating hundreds of hours of architectural services to bring this project to life. The name Maple Tree Village was chosen by employees, residents, and donors and approved by
the Board in late July. “The name really conveys our family-oriented culture,” said ACC CEO Darrick Lam. “We looked inwardly for naming suggestions, and this is what our stakeholders came up with.” The history of this project goes back ten years. In 2008, the Board began planning ACC’s expansion into the senior housing market to address the growing needs of elders in our community. This led to the purchase of the 2.38-acre parcel on Maple Tree Way. But when the recession hit, the project was put on hold. In Continued on page 2

2013, ACC moved forward with a project to convert a section of ACC Greenhaven Terrace independent living apartments to a 24-unit assisted living facility. Today, it is operating at capacity and has a long waiting list. Moreover, many families have asked ACC to offer memory care. In 2016, the Board decided it was the right time to move forward with the property on Maple Tree Way and develop it into an assisted living and memory care center. “Maple Tree Village comes at the right time and the right place,” says Winston Ashizawa, ACC Board President. “Within a five-mile radius of ACC alone, there is a strong demand for the types of assisted living and memory care services Maple Tree Village will offer. We know this from feasibility studies that we commissioned.” ACC Consultant in Residence Dr. Donna Yee corroborates the studies. She was ACC’s CEO when planning first began and met with many families in the area. She says family caregivers need help: “They feel their roles are getting more and more complex. They started out doing simple tasks for mom and dad and now their jobs involve aspects of their wellbeing and care, especially with medication management, fall prevention, and dementia care.” ACC Maple Tree Village is designed to provide a continuum of care to adults whose needs change as they get older. “People come into ACC in different ways – ACC Programs, ACC Rides, Greenhaven Terrace Independent and Assisted Living, and ACC Care Center,” says Darrick Lam. “Once a person is in our system, we can easily follow and transition them to other types of housing as their needs change. But no matter where they go, the ACC cultural experience is the same.” To get on the waiting list for Maple Tree Village, go to http://tinyurl.com/MTVList1.

EMIKO NAKANO’S FAMILY PHOTOS
CARING CONNECTIONS: EMIKO NAKANO At age 98, Emiko Nakano remains one of the most active residents at ACC Care Center. She likes to plan her activities using the Care Center’s monthly activity calendar to stay busy and engaged with the residential community. She also sells donated items like Trader Joe’s flowers and other items to fellow residents and their guests. To date, she has sold more than $3,000 worth of flowers and goods with the proceeds going to local charities and people in need. Emiko Nakano’s journey to ACC Care Center began in January 2015. Three of her children created a triangle of care for her in the Bay Area, rotating hosting responsibilities providing inhome care for their mother Emiko. They chose the ACC Care Center and Emiko beams when asked about living at ACC for the past three years. She looks forward to celebrating her 100th birthday at the ACC Care Center with her family, friends and caregivers in the fall of 2019. Born in Japan as Emiko Fujikawa in 1919, Emiko emigrated to the U.S. when she was just one. Emiko grew up in Isleton, the second oldest of ten children. Her parents sent her older sister back to Japan to be raised by her grandparents, effectively making Emiko her family’s oldest child in America. Her dad was a farmer, and eventually became a foreman who managed migrant workers. During Emiko’s youth, the schools she attended were racially segregated. Chinese, Filipino, and Japanese students were sent to “Oriental School” until they reached high school. In 1938, Emiko graduated from Rio Vista High School and had her sights on UC Berkeley. She had excellent grades and lots of ambition, but could not travel to Sacramento or the Bay Area to take the entrance exam due to limited transportation. Joan of Arc was her hero; so much so that she adopted “Joan” as her middle name. Emiko’s aspiration to be strong and brave would eventually serve her well during World War II, when her family was sent to an internment camp. Emiko met Mario Masaharu Nakano through a church friend. They
www.accsv.org
got married and had their first child, Tamaye. When the war broke out, and Emiko’s family and her parents were sent to Tule Lake internment camp. She spent four years there, where she gave birth to their second child, a son they named Mario Jr. Like the 120,000 other Japanese sent to internment camps, the family had to deal with cramped living quarters constantly, and faced uncertainty about their future. Emiko recalls vividly the controversial questionnaire that arose out of FDR’s Executive Order 9066 that she and her husband had to answer. This survey was meant to assess a person’s level of American patriotism, with questions ranging whether they practiced judo or played baseball, or if they were Buddhist or Christian. The last two questions bluntly questioned their loyalty: They were asked if they would be willing to serve in the U.S. armed forces and if they would give up their loyalty to the Emperor of Japan. Especially for the men, fears of deportation and revenge abounded, no matter how they answered these questions. After the war was over, the Nakano family moved to Hunters Point and later to the Richmond Housing Project in Richmond, California. Mario Sr. bought Berkeley Bait Shop in late 1940s and became the store owner. It was a grueling business: The shop opened at 3 am to serve fishermen stocking up for their day’s expeditions. Emiko worked long hours while raising their growing family, which now had four children: Tamaye, Mario, Steven, and Julie. The Nakanos sold the bait shop in the late 1950s. After that, Mario Sr. became gardener and landscaper. In the late 1960’s, he bought into BBB Nursery in Berkeley. Eventually he bought out his partner and changed the business to Nakano Nursery, which he and his family ran for three decades until his passing in 1987. Today, Emiko has six grandchildren and five great grandchildren. At the ACC Care Center, we look forward to celebrating Emiko’s 100th birthday with her whole family!

SACRAMENTO PUBLIC LIBRARY PROGRAM HELPS CARE CENTER RESIDENTS DISCOVER NEW PLACES
Clockwise L-R: Sacramento Public Library Assistant Cathy Jackson shows residents Elaine Highsmith and Inez Crenshaw a diagram of a bear; resident Katherine Chin looks at a pine cone with grandson Brandon and ACC Activities Assistant Sirin Tang; volunteer Jeffrey Greenstein shows resident Mary Endicott a type of rock commonly found in Yosemite. As calming nature sounds filled the room, Jeffrey Greenstein, a Sacramento Public Library volunteer, passed around a plush black bear for Care Center residents. “This is one of our less popular animals with humans at Yosemite,” he said. Upon receiving the bear, resident Mary Endicott’s face lit up. “Oh I have one of these!” she said. Tina Ross, another resident, smiled and said, “I’ve seen a bear before at Triple S Camp.” She then described her camping experience to the other residents as they looked at photos and books together. Every season, Sacramento Public Library volunteers like Jeffrey bring these kinds of experiences to the ACC Care Center. They are part of Tales and Travel Memories, an acclaimed nationally recognized library program that engages nursing home residents on an hour long imaginary trip to a popular travel destination. This imaginary trip is made possible through stories, music, objects, and photos of the selected destination. On this day, it’s Yosemite Valley, but in the past, destinations have included
Hawaii and San Francisco. “A lot of the residents have been to Yosemite,” said ACC Activities Assistant Kathie Williams, “so it’s taking them back to memories and back to happy times with their families.” Cathy Jackson, a Library Assistant at the Robbie Waters Pocket-Greenhaven branch, emphasized the importance of the program: “The mission is to really connect with a portion of our local community that doesn’t have access to our resources. It provides an opportunity for the participants to be connected, and we’ve noticed that when we discuss these destinations, it unlocks their memories and brings them to the surface.” This was especially true when residents had a chance to hold and look at objects that could be found at Yosemite, like pine cones and different kinds of rocks. As Endicott looked at a rock and studied its color and texture, she said to activities assistant Sirin Tang, “I had these on my front porch for years.” Brandon Chin was able to share this experience with his grandmother Katherine Chin, an ACC Care Center resident. Although Chin lives in San Diego, he visits her at the Care Center almost every day when he is in the area. He said, “This is my first time seeing this
program. I think it’s great, especially since they have all these different objects to interact with.” Tales and Travel Memories has become a staple program for many libraries across the country, including Sacramento Public Library, although Jackson said only a handful of branches are actively implementing the program. In 2017, Tales and Travel Memories was recognized as a Library of Congress Best Practices Honoree, and resources for both librarians and caregivers are available online at http://talesandtravelmemories.com. Although Jackson and the library volunteers enjoy the hour they spend with the Care Center residents, their goal is to be able to visit more often, which can be done with more volunteers. “We would love for volunteers to join Tales and Travel Memories,” she said. “It’s really a great way to give back to the community. With more volunteers, the participants can have more one-on-one time.” Williams said she enjoys seeing how happy the residents are when the Sacramento Public Library volunteers come: “It’s like family coming to visit. They get revitalized.”
ACC PROGRAMS HOSTING FREE FILM SCREENING AND PANEL On Saturday, Nov. 10, 2018 from 11:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m., ACC Programs will show the critically acclaimed film, “Glen Campbell: I’ll Be Me.” After the film, there will be a panel moderated by Dr. Linda Revilla, Program Director, and will feature Bonnie Chow, MSW, of the Alzheimer’s Association and family caregivers. This event is cohosted by the Alzheimer’s Association and is part of ACC’s “Films of Resistance” series supported by a grant from APIs Rise and the Sacramento Region Community Foundation.
