Adult Protective Services - Reports

كيف يساعد هذا البرنامج الأشخاص

Adult Protective Services (APS) investigates reports of abuse, neglect, and exploitation of adults with disabilities and older adults (age 60 and older) to determine if these persons are in need of protective services. APS also investigates cases of suspected financial exploitation (i.e., mishandling, theft, or fraud involving personal income, assets or property) by family members, caretakers or others.

If protective services are needed and accepted by the individual, local APS social workers may arrange for a wide variety of services, including home-based care, transportation, adult day services, adult foster care, nutrition services and legal intervention in order to protect the adult. Services may also be arranged for individuals in emergency situations who lack the capacity to consent to services.

The goal of APS is to protect a vulnerable adult's life, health, and property without a loss of independence.

In accordance with state law enacted in 2012, and effective on July 1, 2013, Adult Protective Services, combined with Adult Services and Auxiliary Grant programs, were absorbed into the Department for Aging and Rehabilitative Services (DARS). These programs are no longer part of the Virginia Department of Social Services' Division of Family Services. However, direct services continue to be provided by local departments of social services.

في بداية SFY 2014 (يوليو 1 ، 2013)، انتقل برنامج خدمات الكبار من VDSS إلى إدارة خدمات إعادة تأهيل المسنين & (DARS). يشرف قسم خدمات حماية البالغين في DARS على خدمات البالغين والمنح الإضافية بالإضافة إلى خدمات حماية البالغين. يظل موظفو الإدارات المحلية للخدمات الاجتماعية مسؤولين عن تحديد أهلية الحصول على المنح الإضافية وتقديم الخدمات لخدمات حماية البالغين وخدمات البالغين.

This program is now managed by DARS. Beginning with SFY 2022, VDSS will no longer report new statistics on this program. DARS activity reports can be found via the following link.
