How long does an APS investigation take? It depends on a few factors. But once initiated, APS typically needs 30 days to complete a comprehensive assessment, determine whether abuse occurred, and recommend appropriate interventions or services.
An APS investigator will: conduct a home visit, usually unannounced; interview other individuals who may have information about the situation; and. offer protective services if the investigator determines abuse has occurred.
An active protection system (APS) is a system designed to actively prevent certain anti-tank weapons from destroying a vehicle. Countermeasures that either conceal the vehicle from, or disrupt the guidance of an incoming guided missile threat are designated soft-kill active protection measures.
How soon after the interview will I receive my APS certificate? Candidates can expect to receive their APS certificate within two weeks following the successful completion of their interview.
An APS investigation occurs after a report has been made about suspected abuse or neglect and a social worker is assigned. The investigation focuses on assessing the client's well-being; living environment; support system; and their strengths. The allegations are examined and level of risk is assessed.
Some states require all citizens to report concerns. All states accept voluntary reports, allow for anonymous reports, and provide good-faith reporters with legal protections. Reports to APS are often made by phone, although some states have web-based methods of accepting reports.
An elder abuse investigation typically takes several weeks to several months, depending on various factors, including the type and severity of the suspected abuse.
