US Postage PAID Permit No. 476 Sacramento, CA Over 700 ACC supporters and volunteers joined us at the 26th Annual ACC Nursing Home Fundraiser as we celebrated 25 successful years of our ACC Nursing Home (ACC NH). When ACC was just an idea, financial gifts were needed to plant the seed and begin construction of the ACC NH. This year, we honored ACC NH’s Medallion Donors (those who have generously donated $25,000 or more), Angelo K. and Sophia Tsakopoulos, Dr. John Eng, Timothy S. Jang, Mr. and Mrs. Tom Mizuno, and Art and Barbara Tom. Their contributions began the boost in fundraising that allowed ACC to help the aging population in the community. ACC would not be the successful organization we are today without past and present support. This year, we received more sponsorship donations than ever before. We also received great silent auction items like a Toshiba 32” LCD flatscreen TV, handmade jewelry, sports memorabilia, and gift certificates to golf courses and restaurants. The fundraiser would not have been possible without the support of over a hundred restaurants and businesses. In these difficult economic times, ACC is truly grateful of all the donations that we receive. Please see pages 14 and 15 for the sponsors, restaurants, businesses, and volunteers that contributed to this year’s fundraiser. Please help us by thanking and supporting the businesses and restaurants that support ACC. FREE Phone Bill Review Clinic Are you paying too much for phone service?

Every 2nd Thursday of the month (Dec. 13, Jan. 10, Feb. 14) 2:30-4:30 p.m. 7375 Park City Drive, Sacramento Drop-ins welcome on a first come, first served basis. Contact Susan Sarinas, 916.393.9026 x339 for more information. If you have been by the ACC Greenhaven Terrace (ACC GT) community room at 8:30 AM, you have probably heard the music and spotted residents stepping, strengthening, and stretching to prompts from Joaquin Ngarangad. For the last eight years, Joaquin has donated his time and expertise as a certified fitness trainer to help keep our community healthy and happy. My “Fitness for Life” class meets Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. Joaquin combines dance, yoga, and tai chi in our workout. What you will not know without joining the class is that Joaquin makes his class a welcoming space for everyone. He knows how to work with the full range of senior needs, taking care to demonstrate new movements slowly and carefully. He takes pride in adapting routines so every member of the class feels able to keep up. Francis Sipin Everlin, who spent two years in a wheelchair after a serious car accident, says that Joaquin’s classes helped her progress from wheelchair to cane to walking. Another resident insists that Joaquin has not just been a teacher but a friend. Joaquin genuinely cares about his students. Joaquin, a practicing Buddhist, pays attention to every detail. He even takes care to select just the right music for each activity. Joaquin’s dedication to his classes and to his students has been a special gift to the ACC community. I find I look forward to Monday, Wednesday, and Friday mornings. Get the latest news and updates at www.accsv.org. As we end another successful year, the message I want to convey is to say thank you and to offer congratulation to all the ACC employees for a job well done in carrying out the ACC mission to provide a range of services for older adults in the community. These services are in keeping with the ACC mission to promote the general welfare and to enhance the quality of life for our community by identifying, developing, and providing culturally sensitive health and social services for older adults. Just this year, the success of our mission was celebrated with the 25th anniversary of the ACC Nursing Home, the 10th anniversary of ACC Park City, and the 5th anniversary of Greenhaven Terrace. While years of service may be a benchmark, it does not sufficiently acknowledge and recognize how this success was attained over the years. There is no doubt that volunteers, donors, and stakeholders all make contributions and share the success. But, let’s not over look the valued and dedicated ACC employees who come together to carry out the ACC mission. Depending on the location and employee President’s Message ACC President of the Board William Yee work assignment, each ACC program has a specific mission in keeping with ACC’s overall mission to serve seniors by fulfilling a vision to create an array of services that help older adults sustain their independence and life styles. As a test, see if you can identify the ACC program that is associated with the following mission statements: To create a culturally sensitive, lifelong learning and wellness environment that inspires people to age well by staying informed, mentally and physically active and connected with the community (ACC Park City Programs); To provide a high quality residential community that is safe, supportive and maintains an independent lifestyle for the active older adult (ACC Greenhaven Terrace); To provide a compassionate, safe, and comfortable environment that recognizes our cultural diversity and assures proactive clinical and social services for residents and family members (ACC Nursing Home); To promote the general welfare and to enhance the quality of life for older adults by identifying, developing, and providing culturally sensitive nutritious meals and related activities (Meals on Wheels by ACC). We ask a great deal from our staff to carry out each specific mission by planning and implementing the program services that best serve the community at large, particularly our clients, participants, and residents. Because of their hard work and dedication to deliver quality care to seniors in the community, the ACC staff deserves tremendous praise for the positive impact they make in touching the lives of many everyday, every week, every year. In 2013, look for news about more ways that ACC is mission-driven and is positioning itself to offer assisted living residential services in the near future. With our talented staff, we will be up to the challenge. OFFICERS William P.

ACC NEWS WINTER 2013 What is Planned Giving? by Esther Aw, Financial Advisor Planned giving, sometimes referred to as gift planning, is defined as a method of supporting non-profits and charities that enables philanthropic individuals or donors to make larger gifts than they could make from their income. While some planned gifts provide a life-long income to the donor, others use estate and tax planning techniques to provide for charity and other heirs in ways that maximize the gift and/or minimize its impact on the donor’s estate. Thus, by definition, a planned gift is any major gift, made prior to or at death as part of a donor’s overall financial and/or estate planning. By contrast, gifts to the annual fund or for membership dues are made from a donor’s discretionary income, and while they may be budgeted for, they are not defined as a “planned gift.” Whether a donor uses cash, appreciated securities/stock, real estate, artwork, partnership interests, personal property, life insurance, a retirement plan, etc., the benefits of funding a planned gift can make this type of charitable giving very attractive to both donor and charity. What are the 3 types of planned gifts? • First, outright gifts that use appreciated assets as a substitute for cash; • Second, gifts that return income or other financial benefits to the donor in return for the contribution; • Third, gifts payable upon the donor’s death. What gift plans return income to donors? Charitable gift annuities make fixed payments, starting either when the gift is made (an immediate-payment gift annuity) or at a later date (a deferred or flexible gift annuity). Some organizations maintain pooled income funds, which commingle donations, pay beneficiaries variable depending on the earnings of the fund, and generally operate like a charitable mutual fund. Charitable remainder unitrusts and annuity trusts are individually managed trusts that pay the beneficiaries either a fixed percentage of trust income or a fixed dollar amount. What are the tax benefits of planned gifts? • Donors can contribute appreciated property, like securities or real estate, receive a charitable deduction for the full market value of the asset, and pay no capital gains tax on the transfer. • Donors who establish a life-income gift receive a tax deduction for the full, fair market value of the assets contributed, minus the present value of the income interest retained; if they fund their gift with appreciated property they pay no upfront capital gains tax on the transfer. • Gifts payable to charity upon the donor’s death, like a bequest or a beneficiary designation in a life insurance policy or retirement account, do not generate a lifetime income tax deduction for the donor, but they are exempt from estate tax. To find out more about planned giving, please attend the FREE ACC Planned Giving Workshop! Planned Giving Workshop Presenter: Esther Aw, Financial Advisor Wednesday, January 23; 3:00 – 4:30 ACC Administration • 7311 Greenhaven Drive, Suite 187 • Sacramento, CA 95831 Sign up today! Reserve your spot by contacting Terisa Lee at (916) 394-6399 ext. 141 or [email protected] Deadline for Estate Planning Opportunity by Esther Aw, Financial Advisor We are at the threshold of major estate tax changes that under current law will occur on January 2, 2013. This creates opportunities for planning now. The current estate and gift tax laws are due to “sunset” (expire) on December 31, 2012, creating opportunities for those who are willing to take advantage of strategies by the end of the year. The bad news is estate and gift tax rates are going up, while the amounts protected (exempt) from these taxes are going down. Current 2012 Sunset 2013 Estate Tax Exemption/Rate $5.12M/35% $1M/55% Gift Tax Exemption/Rate $5.12M/35% $1M/55% GST Exemption/Rate $5.12M/35% $1.4M/55% The good news is that there are several strategies available to help offset this tax increase, but they must be completed by December 31, 2012. Summary of changes coming on January 1, 2013: - The ability to make lifetime gifts totaling $5.12 million expires and it reduces to $1 million; - The amount of wealth exempt from estate taxation at death is reduced from it’s current level of $5.12 million to the $1 million level. - Estate tax rates on excess amounts increase from its current level of 35% to as much as 55%. What can be done? Assets can be shifted outside of your estate, while maintaining a level of access, if certain techniques are implemented. What is significant for the balance of 2012 is that a lifetime total of $5.12 million can be gifted, which will decrease to $1 million in 2013. Strategies can be implemented to reduce the amount of wealth going to the IRS, while increasing the amount going to your heirs. Regardless of whether your estate is $5 or $10 million, there is still an opportunity to maximize and take advantage of these exemptions to leave a larger legacy not only to your heirs, but also to your favorite non profit organizations that help out your community. WINTER 2013 ACC NEWS 3 Letter From the ACC Nursing Home Administrator STAFF DIRECTORY Fall has arrived and, with it, lots of activity here at ACC Nursing Home. Our Transitional Care Unit has been very busy, serving 15-20 additional community members per month. These individuals come to the Nursing Home for a short stay after hospitalization, to rehabilitate and return home. Our Admissions Coordinator, Kory Ishikawa, has been able to share many success stories with the referring hospitals and physicians. If you or a loved one should find yourself in need of rehabilitation, we hope that you will request that your physician refer you to ACC Nursing Home. Halloween was quite an event this year at the Nursing Home. The residents and staff were treated to a very realistic Haunted House full of spooky twists and turns. Many of the staff did not make it to the end (the residents were much more brave)! Everyone really enjoyed the antics of the staff who dressed up for the ACC Costume Contest. We had a baby cow, a pregnant witch, three blind mice, and even a visit and song by Prince for the event. The fun continued with a scarecrow contest and a pumpkin pie eating contest. It was great to see residents enjoying themselves so much they could not stop smiling and laughing. We even had former short-stay residents return for the festivities. In November, for the second year, five students from Apollon University in Germany visited the Nursing Home to study our practices in collaboration with the College of Continuing Education at California State University, Sacramento. The afternoon was enlightening for our managers as well as the students as we shared how nursing homes differ in America and Germany. The students were very impressed with ACC Nursing Home and the staff who provide such great care. The Nursing Home TV/cable project is moving forward, thanks to the help of individuals and organizations in our community. Installation of individual televisions at each bedside is scheduled to begin the week after Thanksgiving. We expect to have the TVs installed and the programming up and running before the end of the year. The Thanksgiving Dinner for Residents and family members was on Wednesday, November 21. We kicked off this Holiday Season with friends and family by remembering all we have to be thankful for.

Hotdogs and hamburgers grilled to perfection, chips, beverages and brownie bites were enjoyed by all. Entertainment was provided by ACC GT Committee Member Glenn Watanabe and the ACC Guitar Ensemble. Many volunteers shared in the fun-filled afternoon as well. Autumn brought the beginnings of the holiday season…and does ACC GT know how to celebrate! The Resident Council sponsored a Halloween gathering with appearances by witches, goblins and ghosts. ACC GT’s Thanksgiving meal this year tried to replicate the idea of the original meal shared by the Indians and Pilgrims so many years ago. Turkey, dressing, mashed potatoes and gravy was provided and each participant was asked to bring a traditional family side dish to share. What a cornucopia of flavors, aromas and tastes...mmmm good. Besides all the holiday celebrating, ACC GT residents also managed to have an E-Waste collection, participate in cooking demonstrations, brain fitness classes, exercise classes, domino and pokeno games and of course bingo. ACC Greenhaven Terrace always has something going on. ACC Greenhaven Terrace currently has senior apartments available for immediate move-in.

WINTER 2013 ACC NEWS 5 A Recap on the Walk to End Alzheimer’s By Bonnie Chow, MSW On Saturday, October 6th, I had the honor to join individuals, families and communities in a united effort to take a stand against Alzheimer’s. The Alzheimer’s Association Walk to End Alzheimer’s® is an annual event that raises awareness and critically needed funds towards the fight against Alzheimer’s. A crowd of 3,000 gathered at the State Capitol to walk to end Alzheimer’s. I was amazed and touched by the uplifting and hopeful energy of the day, despite the devastating impact of the disease. For me, the Promise Garden ceremony captured the amazing spirit of all those touched by Alzheimer’s. Each person connected to someone with Alzheimer’s has his or her own personal reasons for walking to end Alzheimer’s. The Promise Garden ceremony is a reminder that truly we are not alone in the Alzheimer’s journey. Through color, the Promise Flower represents the diverse reasons why participants gathered: Blue – I have Alzheimer’s Yellow – I am supporting or caring for someone with Alzheimer’s Purple – I have lost someone to Alzheimer’s Orange – I support the cause and a vision of a world without Alzheimer’s. In the quiet moments of the ceremony when Promise Flowers were raised by participants, I felt my commitment to this cause strengthen as did my hope that this disease can be eradicated. Over $312,000 dollars was raised throughout the year by the 259 teams and individual walkers in the Sacramento area. In many ways, the Walk to End Alzheimer’s is also a celebration of the lives of those with the disease and the dedication of those who care for their loved one. ABOUT: The Alzheimer’s Association is the leading voluntary health organization in Alzheimer’s care, support and research. Our mission is to eliminate Alzheimer’s disease through the advancement of research; to provide and enhance care and support for all affected; and to reduce the risk of dementia through the promotion of brain health. Our vision is a world without Alzheimer’s. For more information, visit www.alz.org. ACC’s Bridge to Healthy Families (BHF) and Asian Pacific Islander Dementia Care Network, collaborates with the Alzheimer’s Association and the UC Davis Alzheimer’s Disease Center. For more information, please call (916) 393-9026. Walk to End Alzheimer’s: A Caregiver’s Perspective By Raj Raj This year’s Alzheimer’s Association Walk to End Alzheimer’s was special for me. My whole family was able to participate; three other family/friends joined, and so did my mom, who has Alzheimer’s. With the help of a wheelchair borrowed from a friend, mom and I did the one mile walk, while everyone else did three miles. By the time we finished our one mile, the rest of the family had finished their three miles. Ever since mom’s diagnosis, I have been bombarded with information about Alzheimer’s from the doctors, adult day programs that mom attends, like ACC Respite, the Alzheimer’s Association, and friends from the Alzheimer Association support group. Mom’s disease has changed my life. My role has changed from daughter, to mother, and now full-time caregiver for my mom, and with that comes a whole new bunch of responsibilities. I am amazed how every year the Walk brings new ideas and more awareness about Alzheimer’s. There are pills and patches to manage the symptoms of Alzheimer’s. There is talk about turmeric, coconut oil, and other herbal stuff. There’s no cure yet, but I’m hopeful that within my lifetime we can find how to rid the world of this disease. K ud� orner Susan Sarinas: Thank you for your help and organizing the “Savvy Senior” workshop by the Pocket Area Congregations Together. Thanks for being so helpful, expert, and responsive for this effort. We truly could not have done this without you. ACC Respite Team (Anna Su, Mary Gounder, Albert Gil, & Aster Tadese) Thank you for providing such a great program... it’s really been a life-saver for me and my husband.
