Commonly Asked Questions

How does Adult Protective Services (APS) work, and who is eligible?

Adult Protective Services (APS) is designed to safeguard vulnerable individuals, particularly the elderly and those with disabilities, from abuse, neglect, or exploitation. In Texas, eligibility for APS is determined by the Texas Department of Family and Protective Services based on specific criteria relating to the individual’s situation. If you suspect someone might be at risk or in danger, it's crucial to contact our team so we can guide you through the process and ensure that necessary protections are put in place. Our commitment is to foster a safe environment for vulnerable populations in our communities, including those in the broader Austin area.

What is respite care and why is it important for caregivers?

Respite care is a valuable service designed to provide temporary relief for those who care for individuals with physical or mental impairments. It is crucial for caregivers to step back occasionally to recharge, as the demands of caregiving can be overwhelming. Our respite care services offer short-term relief, enabling caregivers to take much-needed breaks while ensuring their loved ones continue to receive compassionate and attentive care. This support is essential not only for maintaining the well-being of the caregiver but also for preserving the quality of care provided to their loved ones. We proudly serve caregivers in the Dallas area, ensuring they have access to the support they need.
