FAQ
California: Under California Welfare and Institutions Code § 15630, healthcare professionals, social workers, law enforcement officers, caregivers, and employees of elder care facilities are required to report suspected elder abuse to Adult Protective Services or local law enforcement agencies.
These are generally individuals who are involved with elders and dependent adults. This includes care custodians, health practitioners, law enforcement, paramedics, banks and fire fighters. Reporters must file an abuse report when they observe or suspect abuse.
The laws in most states require helping professions in the front lines -- such as doctors and home health providers -- to report suspected abuse or neglect. These professionals are called mandated reporters.
If you or someone you know needs help, please refer them to APS by calling the DSS OneNumber at 718-557-1399.
