Adult Protective Services (APS) investigates reports of abuse, neglect, and exploitation of adults aged 60 and over and incapacitated adults over 18 years of age and provides services when persons are found to be in need of protection.
Adult Services are provided to enable adults aged 60 and over, and adults with a disability to remain in the least restrictive environment, preferably their own homes, with dignity for as long as possible, thus avoiding more costly and restrictive institutional placement.
The goal of Child Protective Services (CPS) is to provide specialized services to protect children from abuse and neglect, preserve families whenever possible and prevent further maltreatment of a child or children.
The Foster Care Program provides placement for children who have been removed from their birth parents due to some type of abuse and/or neglect, or other family circumstances that prevent children from remaining in their homes.
