Protecting Vulnerable Adults: Adult Protective Services (APS)

Adult Protective Services are non-skilled and non-technical options. Our experienced teams provide this nursing care in a client’s home. Our attendant’s goal is to protect elderly (65 years or older) and disabled individuals from abuse, neglect, and/or exploitation. If you suspect or have experienced these issues impacting a loved one, we are here to support you.

Someone who has suffered from abuse, neglect, and/or exploitation may receive short-term help with the following:

  • Food
  • Transportation
  • Medical care
  • Home healthcare services
