Ensuring Elder Justice in California's Master Plan for Aging: Recommendations (12/12/19)

CEJC’s recommendations for the MPA highlight individual rights and social justice, including the right live free of elder abuse, neglect, and exploitation. It prioritized four goals:
  1. Provide a "No Wrong Door" approach for reporting elder/dependent adult abuse so that all cases are investigated and responded to.
  2. All older adults have the opportunity to complete advanced directives to protect their autonomy and personal choices.
  3. Assure that individuals with dementia and cognitive impairments have supports and representation in decision making and managing their care.
  4. Sound policy that protects all aging Californians with particular focus on those who are at highest risk of homelessness, neglect, poverty, disability, and abuse.
For more on CEJC’s MPA priorities, go to Action Alert: CEJC Recommendations for California’s Master Plan for Aging

Principles of Elder Justice (2017)

Picture
In the nearly 9 years since CEJC leaders first came together to explore barriers to elder abuse prevention, they have solicited the insights and ideas of stakeholders and opinion leaders from multiple disciplines across the state, resulting in a broader focus on elder justice. Although elder abuse prevention remains core, CEJC and its partners recognize that abuse does not occur in a vacuum and cannot be prevented without a firm foundation of support services, legal options, fair distribution of resources, attention to the rights of people with cognitive impairments, and accountability. This broader vision is reflected in these principles, which were introduced and disseminated during 2017 Elder and Dependent Abuse Awareness month activities. To view, click here.

From Blueprint to Benchmarks: Building a Framework for Elder Justice (2016)

Picture
Five years ago, Improving California’s Response to Elder Abuse, Neglect and Exploitation (see below) laid out a plan for ensuring justice to California’s older members. It drew from from California’s first elder justice summit, which brought together innovators and stakeholders from around the state.  Five years later, From Blueprint to Benchmarks: Building A Framework for Elder Justice (B2B) begins where the first blueprint leaves off. Drawing from the second elder justice summit, B2B builds on the successes that have been achieved to date and proposes attainable goals for the future.

We welcome you to use B2B to:
  • Guide your work with abused and vulnerable elders
  • Assist you to design new programs and expand existing programs by identifying unmet needs and justifying funding proposals
  • Craft public policy
  • Set research agendas
We'd like to know your thoughts, ideas, and plans for using B2B. Let us know by sending us a message on our Contact Us page.

Caregiving Policy Brief (2015)

Picture
CEJC’s Caregiving Subcommittee developed a policy brief describing the interface between caregiving and elder abuse and offering recommendations for supporting caregivers and preventing abuse.

LTSS Action Plan (2014)

Educating Elder Justice Professionals About Long Term Services and Supports (LTSS): An Action Plan draws from the insights and experiences of experts and stakeholders in the elder justice and LTSS networks to offer concrete recommendations for ensuring justice and fairness to LTSS consumers.

Improving California's Response to Elder Abuse, Neglect, and Exploitation (2011)

Picture
This document represents over two years of exploration and discussions by advocates, service providers, experts in elder abuse prevention and related fields, and others with an interest in ensuring justice, safety, and security for older adults in California. These include the findings from the first state summit on elder abuse, held in April of 2010, an environmental scan to gather the collective knowledge about abuse and related topics, and discussions with the leaders of state agencies, professional associations, and advocacy groups. To download the blueprint click here.
