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 involvement, department and/or justice:
“What causes adolescents to rebel is not the assertion of authority but the arbitrary use of power, with little explanation of the rules and no involvement in decision-making. . . . Involving the adolescent in decisions doesn’t mean that you are giving up your authority. It means acknowledging that the teenager is growing up and has the right to participate in decisions that affect his or her life.”
—Laurence Steinberg (20th century)
“While the focus in the landscape of Old World cities was commonly government structures, churches, or the residences of rulers, the landscape and the skyline of American cities have boasted their hotels, department stores, office buildings, apartments, and skyscrapers. In this grandeur, Americans have expressed their Booster Pride, their hopes for visitors and new settlers, and customers, for thriving commerce and industry.”
—Daniel J. Boorstin (b. 1914)
“He is, in fact, the best tempered, and not the least impartial of reviewers. He goes out of his way to do justice to profligates and quacks.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
