ACC provides a safe environment for residients to socialize and stay connected with their loved ones. Thanks to our activities staff — Debbie Williams and Zyra Bonita at the Care Center, Brittany Yamada at ACC Greenhaven Terrace, and Liana Ma at ACC Maple Tree Village — residents have something to look forward to everyday. They arrange window visits, drive-by visits, and FaceTime and Zoom meetings for their residents. MTV even takes residents on scenic rides throughout Sacramento with their shuttle, everyone socially distanced of course.
On August 28, ACC families participated in a noisy and fun “Honk for Hugs” car parade. They met at Revere Court and drove past ACC Care Center, ACC Greenhaven Terrace, and ACC Maple Tree Village. Residents sat outside and gave them a heroes welcome.
Overall, the pandemic has fostered a deeper sense of love and connection among residents, their families and the staff as they explore new ways to connect.
ACC has made tremendous use of Zoom, an online video service, to stay connected with its volunteers and other community stakeholders. ACC holds board meetings, committee meetings, and town halls, all on Zoom.
Sometimes these meetings offer refreshing glimpses of the people we only see at the office. At home, they are more relaxed. Family members and pets will make a cameo apprearance, to everyone’s delight.
The pandemic will eventually come to pass. In the meantime, ACC is discovering new ways to connect so families and friends can be closer even at a distance.
