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.
