At-risk adults are defined as persons age 18 or older who are susceptible to mistreatment or self-neglect because the adult is unable to perform or obtain services necessary for his or her health, safety, or welfare or because they lack sufficient understanding or capacity to make or communicate responsible decisions concerning their person or affairs.
The Adult Protection Services unit investigates reports of self and caretaker neglect, financial and other forms of exploitation and physical and sexual abuse.
