A JOINT MESSAGE FROM THE CEO AND BOARD PRESIDENT The ACC Senior Services Blue Ribbon Committee was formed to steward the research and decision making for ACC’s skilled nursing care and, specifically, the future of the ACC Care Center. We are working with the Fox Group to put together the best plan for the Care Center. In the meantime, our Capital Campaign donors have helped ACC fulfilled dozens of commitments, strengthening our innovative legacy of improving the quality of life for our community’s older residents at the ACC Care Center. Many of you gave in response to the $500,000 match challenge gift by Art and Barbara Tom. So, thank you! Your gifts not only benefit our seniors but their community of family, friends, and neighbors whose lives are intertwined with theirs. ACC Senior Services is fortunate to have a diverse Board of Directors comprised of people from healthcare, government, private enterprise, and community leadership. Some have been family caregivers at one time or another. This summer, they will lead the development of a new Five-Year Strategic Plan for ACC. It’s our chance to dream big but plan realistically. So much has changed in the area of aging, not just how we provide care, but also how we look at
ACC Board President Winston Ashizawa and CEO Darrick Lam
the social aspects and meaning of “getting old.” The vast majority of people over 70 are not sick or bedridden. That means we need to keep them active, healthy, and out of isolation. One thing is for sure: the “silver tsunami” has a lot of stored energy and ACC is right in front of it! That is why, as our Board develops the Plan, they will solicit input from clients, employees, volunteers, and other community stakeholders. We look forward to your input. ACC Maple Tree Village is scheduled to open late this year. If you travel on I-5 near the Pocket Road exit, it’s hard to miss “MTV” rising out the ground. It’s a beautiful building, and we commend Reeve-Knight Construction for their work. We also want to welcome our new Administrator, Kyle Fredrickson, who has done a great job in moving our resident application process and care policies forward.

ACC SENIOR SERVICES CAPITAL CAMPAIGN BY THE NUMBERS: PLEDGES 97% FULFILLED By Rod Malloy Thanks to the vision and generosity of Art & Barbara Tom, the ACC Senior Services Capital Campaign is 67% of the way towards the $3 million goal. Their $500,000 matching gift and the $500,000 raised from hundreds of other households raised $1,000,000. The campaign pledges and gifts to date total $2,018,819 and 97% of the pledges to date have been fulfilled.

which will guide the decision making for the future of skilled nursing care at the ACC Care Center. To date, Capital Campaign gifts have helped renovate the ACC Senior Services campus at 7334 Park City Drive, funded the conversion of the assisted living units at Greenhaven Terrace and helped pave the way for Maple Tree Village. Thanks to everyone – all 2,491 gifts and pledge donors – who have supported the Capital Campaign through each of the phases since its launch in 2013. The promise of assisted living and memory care at Maple Tree Village will be fulfilled in the next year followed by the vision for the ACC Care Center.

to its success. “I am amazed and excited about the continued growth of ACC and Meals on Wheels by ACC (MoW),” he said. “I am very fortunate to be part of an organization that embraces change, champions diversity, and celebrates success.” According to Waterford, the combined workforce of ACC and MoW has grown over 50 percent since 2010, and will continue to grow as ACC prepares for its grand opening of ACC Maple Tree Village, an assisted living and memory care center slated to open later this year. With this projected growth, Waterford will continue to work towards building and supporting a workforce that truly desires to

ACC Chief HR Officer Sets Example for Workforce and Community Engagement By Angela Roberts
For many leaders and staff members of ACC, supporting the organization’s mission of serving older adults is more than just a job, but an opportunity to develop fulfilling careers and find enrichment in enhancing and preserving the quality of life for the community’s seniors and their families. Chief Human Resources Officer (CHRO) Tony Waterford is one such person at ACC who strives to go above and beyond his duties to represent and support the organization’s mission and vision. Leading ACC’s Human Resources Department, Waterford describes his position as one that allows him to “serve as a strategic partner adept at leading change in support of a growing and changing company and be a leader and champion for a healthy, safe, and engaged workforce.”
Waterford discusses a leadership tool with employees.
Although his day-to-day job duties keep him busy, Waterford finds the time to show his commitment to the community’s seniors in a variety of ways. With

a talent and interest in singing and dancing, Waterford often performs at major ACC events like the Big Day of Giving party every May, and emcees the annual Care Center Fundraiser in September. At these events, he enjoys singing hits from a variety of genres that include country, disco, and pop. Tony also hosts ACC’s annual staff holiday party, and gives concerts for ACC Care Center residents and visitors every month. “Having the opportunity to perform at Care Center concerts and ACC fundraising events is a ‘bonus’ for me,” he said. “When I was a child, my three siblings and I dreamed of becoming professional entertainers. While my parents supported our dreams, they emphasized the importance of getting a good education, and
I was ultimately groomed to become an HR professional and entertainer. Their advice paid off!” Originally from Chicago, Waterford’s early beginnings include an interest in aviation, and he became a cadet in the United States Air Force Academy in Colorado Springs, Colorado. However, over time, he developed a new found passion for community health and public administration, which led him to complete a Masters of Arts degree in Public Administration from Northern Illinois University and go on to a fulfilling career in human resources. Now approaching his ninth year at ACC, Waterford has seen how much the organization has changed over the last decade, and why a strong team of leadership, staff, and volunteers is important

enhance the quality of life for seniors and their caregivers and families. “To serve our community and have an impact on the quality of life of seniors is precious,” he said. “I think that many of our employees and volunteers have chosen careers (not jobs) at ACC and MoW, and as Confucius says, ‘Choose a job that you love and you will never have to work a day in your life.’ That says it all for me.”

Pickeball is an ACE at ACC By Angela Roberts
If you type “Pickleball Sacramento” in Google’s search bar, it may come as no surprise that the first result in the Google Maps directory is ACC Senior Services. This may be because ACC is home to some of the first ever pickleball courts in Sacramento, and also a popular gathering place for longtime and beginner players alike. “We get people from everywhere vacationing or visiting Sacramento calling to ask where they can play pickleball,” said Program Director Linda Revilla. We went from three to four courts just to keep up with the demand. There are even people in their 80’s and 90’s playing.” Revilla believes the sport is popular in the community because it allows players to get good exercise, meet new friends, and learn a fun new hobby. Revilla shared a personal example of pickleball’s ability to attract new enthusiasts: “My friends played pickleball once and they went out that night and bought pickleball equipment. They were hooked after the first time.” Program Assistant Anna Su agrees, and admits she occasionally takes breaks to see pickleball matches. “Sometimes I go outside to watch the players because it’s fun to watch,” she said. “People get addicted to it!” With features similar to tennis, ping-pong, and badminton, the pickleball craze shows no signs of slowing down. Although the sport was created in 1965, a 2018 AARP report states that pickleball is one of America’s fastest growing sports, and found that players experienced positive health benefits like lower levels of depression and improved blood pressure.

ADMINISTRATION Pickleball player Cynthia Won in the middle of a game, which lasts about ten to fifteen minutes on average.
Throughout Sacramento and many parts of the country, it’s common to see municipal tennis courts alternatively used as pickleball courts, just by making simple temporary changes to the lines or nets. Despite its current popularity, pickleball has only been at ACC for a few years and will begin its fifth season this March. Sunny Jung, Heman Lee, and Jeannie Fong were among the first volunteers to help establish pickleball at ACC, and have seen the impact it has made on the ACC community. In 2015, Jung, Lee, Fong, and a few other dedicated volunteers were instrumental in helping ACC receive a grant from the USA Pickleball Association (USAPA) to build its first courts. Led by an all-volunteer effort, ACC’s pickleball courts were ready for action once lines were painted, equipment was purchased, and clinics were organized. Clinics are especially important because they introduce new and interested people to the sport, and the instructors strongly emphasize that pickleball is more about enjoying Continued on page 6

Kim Fuj–iwara, Volunteer Manager ACC Senior Services
The Annual Craft and Bake Sale is a much anticipated event here at ACC and within the community, and 2018 was no exception. As the new Volunteer Manager, I was pleasantly surprised by the support I received from staff, volunteers and the community in planning this event. The event practically runs itself, from the donation of plants, baked goods and knitted items, to the volunteers who sell the hot meals. Each year we recognize the hard work of volunteers who staff the various areas at the Craft and Bake Sale in the newsletter. I would like to recognize the small group of dedicated volunteers who give monetary donations towards the raffle prizes. A big MAHALO (Hawaiian for “thank you”) to Frances Lee, Lisa Tanaka, and Mickey Yamadera for their undying and generous support!
