Sacramento Adult Protective Services

Sacramento Adult Protective Services (APS) is a dedicated agency within California that assists elder adults aged 60 and older, as well as dependent adults aged 18 to 59 who are disabled, when they are unable to meet their own needs or are victims of abuse, neglect, or exploitation. The agency investigates reports of abuse in various living situations, including private homes, apartments, and hospitals, and provides essential services such as advocacy, counseling, and financial management.

In collaboration with law enforcement and other public agencies, Sacramento APS ensures the protection of vulnerable adults by cross-reporting allegations of abuse and arranging necessary services like out-of-home placements or conservatorships. Their mission is to educate the public about reporting responsibilities under the Elder and Dependent Adult Abuse Reporting laws and to offer resources to support both victims and community members.
