ACC Senior Services was founded in 1972

Leaders of the Asian American community started ACC to improve the quality of life for elders in need of convalescent care and a place to get together.

Today ACC is a non-profit corporation in Sacramento, California, led by a voluntary Board of Directors and its Chief Executive Officer.

The mission of ACC Senior Services then and now is to promote the general welfare and enhance the quality of life for our community by identifying, developing and providing culturally sensitive health and social services for older adults.

At that time, many seniors experienced social and language isolation in nursing homes, where residents and their family caregivers were most concerned about a lack of familiar foods and an inability to communicate with care staff. In response, ACC explored opportunities to provide quality care for individuals in need of placement. ACC also developed critical social services ranging from Tanoshimi Kai (two of the two dozen congregate senior nutrition sites in the county) to cultural arts classes for seniors who were alone all day.

In its first two decades, the founders of ACC successfully incubated and supported almost twenty programs and civic organizations, many of which were as attentive to needs for job training, mental health, as they were to building capacity and civic organizations in the community.
