FAQ
Each California County has an Adult Protective Services (APS) agency to help elder adults (60 years and older) and dependent adults (18-59 who are disabled), when these adults are unable to meet their own needs, or are victims of abuse, neglect or exploitation.
(a) “Elder” for purposes of this section means any person residing in this state who is 65 years of age or older.
In California, elders are defined as persons 60 years and older. Under California law, elder abuse can be both criminal and civil. Civil law defines elder abuse as physical abuse, neglect, financial abuse, abandonment, isolation, abduction, or other treatment resulting in harm, pain or mental suffering to an elder.
An elder is a person of age 60 or older. A dependent adult is a person between the ages of 18 and 59 with physical, mental, or developmental disabilities. The full scope of elder and dependent abuse is limited due to the problem's hidden and complex nature.
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.
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.
