The Adult Protective Services (APS) program helps at-risk people 18 years and older to live safely in their community.

APS can help arrange services and support for adults who:

Have physical or mental disabilities
Are unable to manage their own resources
Are unable to protect themselves from abuse and neglect
Have no one who is willing to assist them

Anyone can refer an adult to APS. You can refer yourself if needed.

You can get help regardless of income.
