Thank you for supporting ACC Senior Services in 2019. This year, we helped thousands of older adults in Sacramento get healthcare, housing, transportation, and social services. We kept them engaged with 2,700 class sessions and wellness workshops. We provided more than 30,000 rides and more than 29,000 days of long-term care. Our home visits have given hope and help to people who are homebound and living alone.
2020 will see the opening of ACC Maple Tree Village Assisted Living and Memory Care. ACC is helping dozens of families navigate a critical transition in their loved one’s care. While it has been a difficult journey for many, they now have a path forward. We will care for them in the ACC tradition. In the words of our COO Melanie Segar, “Our staff is educated and compassionate. These two qualities go hand in hand at ACC.”
Please consider making a year-end gift to ACC to fund these important programs in 2020:
ACC Memory Care Program: curriculum development, training for staff and family caregivers, community outreach; to be introduced at ACC Maple Tree Village
ACC Care Center Career Advancement Program: training staff on dementia and hospice care, concierge customer service, and the use of new diagnostic equipment including ultrasound, BiPAP and state-of-the-art point-of-care testing equipment
ACC Rides: recruiting and training new drivers and driver assistants, training on new scheduling software, providing transportation vouchers for low-income seniors and others not covered by grants
ACC Home Visits: recruiting and training new Friendly Visitor volunteers, increasing social workers to handle the caseload, providing visitation vouchers for low-income seniors and others not covered by grants
ACC
Music and Arts: Expanding music and arts programs
for residents of ACC Care Center, ACC Greenhaven Terrace, ACC Maple Tree
Village and participants of ACC Lifelong Learning
and Wellness; developing a new contingent of volunteers and philanthropists who
are connected with ACC through their love
of music and the arts
ACC’s priorities for 2020 echo the conversations about aging taking place in communities across America. And earlier this year, Darrick was appointed to Governor Newsom’s Master Plan on Aging Stakeholder Advisory Committee. This gives ACC a place at the table, helping us affect change throughout the state!
We appreciate gifts of all sizes. If you want to underwrite a major portion of any of these programs, contact Ted Fong at 916-503-2085 or email tfong@accsv.org. Also, contact Ted if you want to discuss giving to ACC through stocks, real estate, RMDs (a popular option), and charitable trusts.
Since our founding in 1972, ACC has relied on philanthropy from donors like you to become “a community of caring.” We welcome your continued support!
