A Message from the Board President and CEO

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 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. For more information and to get on the MTV Reservation List, visit this page.

Respectfully,

Winston Ashizawa
