2025 EAS Event Program - Flipping Book

Understanding the Eviction Process

Breakout Session 1: 10:10 AM – 11:05 AM California tenancy laws vary based on the type of property involved. The most common property types include apartment buildings, single-family homes, and mobile homes. Less common types include Residential Care Facilities for the Elderly (RCFEs), tenants at will, and lodgers. Once the necessary requirements to terminate a person’s tenancy or occupancy have been met, landlords must file an Unlawful Detainer and obtain a writ of possession before the Sheriff can remove occupants from the property, with one exception. After a notice to terminate a tenancy is served and until the Sheriff’s lockout occurs, residents face various decisions. Some of these decisions may prevent an Unlawful Detainer from being filed, help avoid an eviction appearing on their record or allow for more time in the property before having to leave. This workshop will cover the different types of notices and the Unlawful Detainer process, which includes filing and serving the Unlawful Detainer, Defendant response times, and the timing of pretrial proceedings, trial, and the Sheriff’s lockout. The goal of the workshop is to provide attendees with a basic understanding of the Unlawful Detainer process to help them assess how much time they may have to assist their clients. Breakout Session 1: 10:10 AM – 11:05 AM Approximately 7 million Americans are currently living with Alzheimer’s disease, including around 700,000 individuals in California. This condition is the second leading cause of death in the state and affects Latinos and African Americans disproportionately. According to the Alzheimer’s Association’s 2024 Facts and Figures Special Report on Dementia Care Navigation, there is a clear need for dementia care navigation. Seventy percent (70%) of dementia caregivers report that coordinating care is a stressful experience. More than half (53%) find navigating the healthcare system difficult. Additionally, a vast majority of dementia caregivers 97% indicate that having navigation support would be beneficial. Furthermore, 60% of surveyed workers believe that the current healthcare system is not effectively assisting people living with dementia and their caregivers in navigating dementia care. This presentation will cover the following topics: a) Understanding Alzheimer’s and dementia, including risk factors and symptoms, with a focus on prevalence in Riverside County b) An overview of what RUHS is doing to address dementia care c) Available resources for professionals and the community d) Resources for other health systems that wish to replicate RUHS’s efforts Alzheimer’s: A Public Health Crisis
