Ensuring Safety with Adult Protection Services (APS)

Adult Protection Services (APS) programs across the country support Aging adults and adults with disabilities who experience, or who are at risk of, abuse, neglect, self-neglect, or financial exploitation. APS programs investigate reports of maltreatment; conduct case planning, monitoring and evaluation; and provide, or connect people to, a variety of medical, social service, economic, legal, housing, law enforcement, and other protective, emergency, or support services. Our experts in this area of the site will explore the need for adult protection services and its increased importance as the Baby Boomer Generation reaches Retirement age. These services act as a safety net, protecting us from potential harm or neglect.

People who experience abuse have higher rates of Depression, hospitalization, and institutionalization — and they are more likely to die prematurely. They also may experience deteriorated family Relationships, diminished autonomy, and being institutionalized as the direct result of maltreatment. So, we all need to make sure our neighbors are aware of APS.
