153 geraldine schaumburggschaumburg@earthlink.netWhat is the pay for the case managers? It seems to me they don't do a heckof a lot for my son. They get a lot of time off...are on vacation a lot, and have holiday parties. As a single mom they deny me services all the time. Sorry Barking up the wrong tree. g

160 AnonymousAnonymousRegional Center has been so supportive of our family. Everyone we have worked with has been so wonderful and caring. They are invaluable!
161 Theresa Tunniclifftotto@ucsd.eduMy son is turning 18, finishing high school and starting vocational training. We need his case worker to work hard for him more now than ever. These people will continue to burn out if they don't have at least a cost of living increase!

194 Kim Piercesakim@sarc.orgI work in Early Start and do Early Start intake as well as ongoing cases. I am currently working on approximately 90 cases!!!!
195 Maria Lucia De la Torreluciadlt@yahoo.comAs a current case manager, I wholeheartedly agree that our caseloads are too high to provide quality services. It is both frustrating to feel like I don't know the children on my caseload as I'm sure it's frustrating for the parents to not have a consistent person to contact with regards to this child. The systems needs amending otherwise this valuable service, and it's quality, will most certainly diminish.
196 Daniel Villasadaniel@sarc.orgThere has not been a cost of living adjustment in over 17 years and the system needs experienced case managers to be more efficient and effective. Experienced case managers are not being retained due to low pay and the high cost of living in California. Even a small increase will at least give a signal case workers that they are important .

198 Samuel Espitiasasam@sarc.orgI had big case load for a ling time, now I have 82 cases
199 James F. Elliottjamesfelliott@gmail.comAs a service coordinator at San Andreas Regional Center, I can attest that our caseloads are consistently in the 90+ range. The Lanterman Act as written requires caseloads not to exceed 66 consumers per service coordinator. Each Regional Center is paid $37,500 per employee for salary and benefits -- far below what is needed to retain staff. Further, though Regional Centers are only allowed funding through the state, Regional Center employees are not considered employees of the State -- so we do not receive annual COLAs or raises. The Regional Center system is near the breaking point. Action is urgently required.
200 Ron Estiokosaronald@sarc.orgI am happy to see that actions like this are starting up and gathering steam. I hope that this is an effective means for making that change. As a Service Coordinator with San Andreas Regional Center, I know what it means to have the service available to consumers and I hope to be able to continue doing so.
