Involvement With The U.S. Department of Justice
The U.S. Department of Justice completed a 15-year period of oversight at Laguna Honda in June, 2010. In 1997, the Department initiated an investigation into whether Laguna Honda was adequately assisting residents to move to lower levels of care or independent living, and whether it was providing services that supported individual needs and preferences. The department retained health care consultants to review Laguna Honda’s programs and recommend changes.
In its letter notifying city officials of the completion of its investigation, the Department said that San Francisco has "taken creative and somewhat extraordinary steps to expand residential and other service capacity in the community to provide meaningful alternatives in integrated settings for a host of persons who live, had lived, or might live” at Laguna Honda.

Famous quotes containing the words department of justice, involvement, department and/or justice:
“... the Department of Justice is committed to asking one central question of everything we do: What is the right thing to do? Now that can produce debate, and I want it to be spirited debate. I want the lawyers of America to be able to call me and tell me: Janet, have you lost your mind?”
—Janet Wood Reno (b. 1938)
“Juggling produces both practical and psychological benefits.... A woman’s involvement in one role can enhance her functioning in another. Being a wife can make it easier to work outside the home. Being a mother can facilitate the activities and foster the skills of the efficient wife or of the effective worker. And employment outside the home can contribute in substantial, practical ways to how one works within the home, as a spouse and as a parent.”
—Faye J. Crosby (20th century)
“I believe in women; and in their right to their own best possibilities in every department of life. I believe that the methods of dress practiced among women are a marked hindrance to the realization of these possibilities, and should be scorned or persuaded out of society.”
—Elizabeth Stuart Phelps (1844–1911)
“Though Justice against Fate complain,
And plead the antient Rights in vain:
But those do hold or break
As Men are strong or weak.”
—Andrew Marvell (1621–1678)
