Case management is a top priority in the Board of Supervisors approved strategic plan for senior services. Hiring of new case management staff in the Office on Aging is always contingent upon available grant funds from the Older Americans Act and the Older Californians Act. Additional social work case managers will be needed for some time as the senior population ages. Recent increases in Older Americans Act funding will support the creation of two additional social work positions. These positions are being filled. A third social work case manager will be hired on a temporary basis using one year planning grant funds recently approiied by the CA. Dept of Health Services to test a new integrated case management model in partnership with the RCRMC and other community agencies in Riverside County. That position will become permanent if Older Americans Act or Older Californians Act funding is available when the planning grant ends (June 03).

The three CTSA's (Coordinated Transportation Service Agencies) are mandated under federal and state law to develop and implement transportation plans for Riverside County. The Office on Aging conducts community needs assessments and public hearings on the transportation needs of seniors and adults with disabilities, and makes this information available to the CTSAs. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Page 4 Response to Grand Jury Report Page 3 * - - . The Advisory Council on Aging recently held a public forum on transportation issues affecting seniors and adults with disabilities in Riverside County, and heard extensive testimony from providers and consumers on current transportation programs and resources, and unmet transportation needs. This information was disseminated widely, and also provided a basis for advocating for improved transportation services for seniors and adults with disabilities in the plan that is developed and implemented by the CTSAs. Recommendation #3: Riverside County Transit Authority provides benches, route maps and bus schedules at all public bus stops. Office on Aging agrees with the finding, but has no direct control over Riverside County Transit Authority. This recommendation will be shared with the Advisory Council on Aging to be included in their advocacy efforts for improved and expanded transportation. The Council will ask RCTA to make improvements at bus stops. Recommendation #4: RCOOA immediately hire a minimum of three additional case managers to meet current and expected workloads. The recommendation will be fully implemented within the next 60 days. Case management is a top priority in the Board of Supervisors approved strategic plan for senior services.

VIP We in law enforcement have a special obligation to the most vulnerable of crime victims. Those who have suffered life-devastating crimes - elder abuse, sexual assault, stalking, family violence and hate crime - should be treated with dignity and supported. They deserve all the compassion and protection that we in the criminal justice system can provide. To ensure that the victims of these highly traumatic crimes are given the best possible treatment, the District Attorney's Office has established the Victim Impact Program (VIP). This program places specially trained prosecutors in Branch and Area offices throughout the county to specifically deal with these types of cases. This bolsters the offices vertical prosecution efforts, ensuring that one prosecutor handles these cases from start to finish. Under VIP, law enforcement also benefits. Investigators present their cases directly to a VIP coordinator, who assigns each to a specially trained prosecutor and oversees their handling. This assures expert treatment from beginning to end.

The traditional answer places heavy emphasis on the function of the common law writ system to do the work now done by the concept of standing. n27 According to this analysis, the concept of standing could only arise after the breakdown of the writ system and of common law pleading. Standing then developed as an elaboration of the essence of the private causes of action previously embodied in the writs. n28 As such, the modern concept of standing, with its focus on injury-in-fact, is thought to be only the preservation of the private rights model n29 of adjudication known to the Framers.

On one level, Lyons represents a jurisprudential dispute between the majority and the dissent over the relative efficacy of retrospective damage remedies and prospective injunctive relief to deter constitutional violations. On another level, this case concerns a related dispute about the role of federal courts in our system. But there was an underlying reality: Human lives were at stake. Mr. Lyons obtained a preliminary injunction against the chokehold practice; both the court of appeals and the Supreme Court issued a stay of that order while the appeal was pending. Six additional people were choked to death by Los Angeles police while the courts determined that no one had standing to stop the practice. n18 Yet, two years later when the Court considered the same substantive constitutional theory in a related factual context, it held that it was unconstitutional for the police to use deadly force against nondangerous suspects. This holding was precisely the same as that sought by Mr. Lyons on the merits of his case. n19On one level, Lyons represents a jurisprudential dispute between the majority and the dissent over the relative efficacy of retrospective damage remedies and prospective injunctive relief to deter constitutional violations.

Problems with the Legal System Problems with law enforcement (19%) were viewed as barriers to service delivery for APS clients and were manifested in such areas as: lack of training for law enforcement staff, inadequate criminal investigations, low rates of prosecution, and unwillingness of the courts to deal with APS issues. One state mentioned that no single agency had authority to investigate allegations of adult abuse, neglect and exploitation and that coordination among agencies was problematic. Another state mentioned that neglect and exploitation cases may sit in the prosecutor's office for six to nine months with no action. A lack of coordination and collaboration between APS agencies and law enforcement was mentioned by several states.

Administrative requests are unusual situations that require authorization from the Deputy Director.

Dawn 10/24/2008 - 11:13am Riverside County Sheriff, Coroner, DA Rod Pacheco, the fire department all participated in a cover up. Even Victims Advocate in DA office lied and said there was not a elders advocate in the county. A 68 year old Senior Nye Frank was attacked by a 27 year old man. Ty Reddish has had professional wrestling training, adult base ball pitcher and a history of combative behavior. Sheriff originally told us not investigating because no injuries and it was a heart attack. We asked to meet with coroner and made a apppointment. To our surprise Special Investigator showed up and a Sargent from the Homicide investigation department. We had tried calling them for weeks. They would not let us talk to the pathologist, and would not take statments of other recent combative incidences of Ty Reddish with others living nearby. They would not release the sheriff report or autopsy. Finally with help of a National victims advocate and another call from a special investigator(they investigate misconduct} internal affairs stepped in to make the DA office release the reports. The day befor our family was told of the release a news paper guy from Press Enterprise called us . He said he felt we had a story. He informed us he had a copy of the autopsy. We were surprised as we were working actively to get one. We requested him to fax it to us . We met with him, told him our side. But he put in the newspaper front page 5 months after incident that it was a heart attack (autopsy says no heart attack) and a fist fight when only one person hit. DA prosecutor threatened to arrest 72 year old wife if we pursued the case. She was allowed to close the case as exceptional and moved from the Riverside County DA to San Bernardino. During a conversation with newsman he admitted prosecutor Daima Calhoun was his girl friends roommate. The corner has homicide with natural c

Therefore, even under Bell Atlantic, the Supreme Court does not require "heightened fact pleading of specifics, but only enough facts to state a claim to relief that is plausible on its face." 127 S.Ct at 1974. We further note, unlike the requirement articulated in Bell Atlantic that under Fed. R. Civ. P. 8(a)(2), a complaint must contain allegations sufficient to show a "plausible" entitlement to relief, there is nothing in the OOC Procedural Rules requiring that an administrative complaint filed with the OOC show an entitlement to relief, Thus, § 5.01 (c)(1) of the Procedural Rules requires only that an administrative complaint include: "(iv) a description of the conduct being challenged…; (v) a brief description of why the complainant believes the challenged conduct is a violation of the Act and the section(s) of the Act involved; (vi) a statement of the relief or remedy sought…."
