The Regional Center of the East Bay (RCEB) is one of 21 Regional Centers that are community-based, private non-profit corporations under contract with the California Department of Developmental Services. RCEB provides intake, assessment, diagnosis, and coordinates community-based services for over 25,000 children and adults with developmental disabilities in Alameda and Contra Costa counties.

RCEB envisions a future where persons with developmental disabilities are truly a part of the community. Persons with developmental disabilities receive supports and services they need to succeed. The supports and services change as the need changes.

In our dream, children with developmental disabilities live with families in typical communities. Many choose to attend their neighborhood schools and play with neighborhood friends. Adults with developmental disabilities live in the residence of their choice – with family members, with friends, or with their spouse / significant other. They engage in activities of their choice – work, volunteering, education, training, or leisure. They have meaningful relationships with friends and coworkers and are seen as valuable, contributing members of their communities.

Key Responsibilities

Case Managers are an integral part of realizing our dream. Under general direction, Case Managers are responsible for the entire case management process, including: assessment and evaluation, planning, authorizing, advocacy, monitoring, reviewing documentation for completion.

• Advocate on behalf of consumers to protect their rights under the law and ensure that they receive those services and benefits to which they are entitled.
• Assist the consumer and family in obtaining essential diagnosis and evaluation from appropriate practitioners and secure written reports and other information which assesses and interprets the consumer’s situation.
• Monitor the consumer’s health and safety.
• Maintain all documentation and contacts as required by law, regulation and policy.
• Implement RCEB policies and procedures.
• Complete, in a timely manner, functional and/or developmental reviews.
• Keep supervisor informed of the status of the case load and unmet needs in the community.
• Perform other duties as assigned.
