🎉 Celebrating a New Milestone for CSAAC: Welcome to Green Acres!

CSAAC was proud to celebrate the ribbon cutting of Green Acres Senior Services Residence, a senior-adapted home designed to support the changing needs of individuals as they age.

Situated on a beautiful 7.58-acre property, Green Acres was thoughtfully designed with accessibility, comfort, safety, and independence in mind, including features that support individuals with limited to no mobility.

As CSAAC currently supports 42 individuals over the age of 60, Green Acres represents an important step in our continued commitment to providing lifelong support and creating environments that promote dignity, independence, and quality of life at every stage.

We were honored to celebrate this special occasion with Nivea Cordova Berrios, President, CSAAC Board of Directors; Mark Maceira, CSAAC Board Treasurer; Hans Berg, CSAAC Board Member; Eric Salzano, CSAAC Executive Director; representatives from Congressman Jamie Raskin’s office; Maryland State Delegate Charlotte Crutchfield, District 19; Montgomery County Executive Marc Elrich; Montgomery County Councilmember Shebra Evans, At-Large; Hope Klein, representing Montgomery County Councilmember Dawn Luedtke, District 7; Dr. James Bridgers, Director, Montgomery County Department of Health and Human Services; Chris Leacock, representing Daria Cervantes, CEO of The Arc Montgomery County; Linda Bergofsky, Co-Chair, Montgomery County Commission on Aging; CSAAC Leadership; and members of our CSAAC families.

Thank you to everyone who joined us in celebrating this meaningful milestone and the next chapter in CSAAC’s commitment to lifelong support.

Today, we mourn the passing of The Honorable Karen S. Montgomery, an extraordinary public servant, devoted advocate, cherished member of the CSAAC Board of Directors, and dear friend to our community.

Karen dedicated her life to serving others, both through her distinguished career in the Maryland House of Delegates and State Senate and through her decades of unwavering commitment to CSAAC. Together with her husband, she was the loving parent of a CSAAC participant, bringing both personal understanding and passionate advocacy to our mission.

Her wisdom, compassion, and steadfast leadership helped shape our organization and touched the lives of countless individuals and families. Karen believed deeply in creating a more inclusive community where every person is valued, supported, and given the opportunity to thrive.

We extend our heartfelt condolences to her family, and all who had the privilege of knowing her.

We are forever grateful for The Honorable Karen S. Montgomery’s remarkable life and the profound difference she made in our community. Her legacy will live on in the people she served, the families she supported, and the organization she helped strengthen.
