Abuse/Neglect of Elderly and Adults at Risk

To report suspected abuse (physical abuse, sexual abuse, material abuse) or neglect and/or self-neglect of persons 60 and over or any adult with a physical, cognitive or developmental disability, contact the Aging & Disability Resource Center to speak to the Adult Protective Services (APS) Social Worker.  APS will investigate the report and offer services to ensure the safety and well being of the subject.  The person does have the right to refuse services unless (1) the vulnerable person lacks sufficient mental capacity to protect him or herself.  In those cases a protective placement may be initiated or (2) a crime has been committed and law enforcement takes action.
