Meet the Board

Sue Hoppe- President

Matthew Crooks M.S.W. has been working in the Human Services field for over 30 years. He received his Master's degree in Social Work from Eastern Washington University in 1993, and has worked since then in various clinical settings such as hospital, home health, and hospice since. He has been active in the philanthropic, outreach, and community organizing arena as well in Sacramento, serving on many community boards, most notably serving as Board President for the Adopt an Elder Foundation for 5 years.

"As a clinical Social Worker over these many years, I have been constantly faced with tough situations that could be solved appropriately with adequate resources. But, currently, there are major deficits in the support network for elders and families facing difficult healthcare choices. Adopt an Elder is a SOLUTION to meet these difficult needs that are not currently met. It is pro-active, community-based, and focused on meeting these specific needs. I have been proud to support and assist the many adoptees AAEF has helped over the last 19 years."

Moved to Roseville with family and transitioned into the Senior Living Industry in 2011, currently Community Relations Director for Sierra Ridge Memory Care. Making the switch to Senior Living changed everything. I have a different attitude toward life. No awards or recognition can compare to getting a hug from a resident or earning his or her appreciation and thanks....melts my heart!
