SECTION G -- HUMAN SERVICES
AGING AND DISABILITY SERVICES
ADULT PROTECTIVE SERVICES/OVER SIXTY INTAKE
PROGRAM MISSION: To promote for all program clients their living as
independently as possible in the community; to protect incapacitated adults
over the age of 18, and everyone over the age of 60, from abuse, neglect
(including self-neglect) or exploitation; and to increase awareness of adult
and elder abuse by providing educational services and community outreach.
The following are the three components of the Adult Protective
Services/Over Sixty Intake program:
-
Over Sixty
Intake: Provides assessments of, and service plans for, adults 60 years of
age and older who, because of their age, frailty, medical condition, or living
situation, are at risk of placement in a hospital, nursing home or
shelter. The focus of the service plan
is to establish or strengthen family and social support systems to enable the
adult to live in the least restrictive setting possible. Linked services may
include homemakers, home health aides, home delivered meals, adult day health
care, mental health services and volunteers.
When in-home services can no longer safely meet the client's needs,
placements outside the home are arranged. If the client requires ongoing case
management services, he/she is transferred to the Adult Social Services Program
within the Division.
-
Adult Protective
Services (APS): Protects adults age 18 and over with disabilities (includes
physical, developmental and psychiatric) and all adults over age 60 from abuse,
neglect (including self-neglect) and exploitation and promotes their living as
independently as possible in the community. Staff investigates reports of
suspected abuse, neglect, or exploitation of adults and develops an
individualized service plan to protect an adult found to be abused, neglected,
or exploited. The Code of Virginia
mandates the provision of protective services in founded cases for
incapacitated adults 18 years of age and older and for all adults 60 years of
age and older.
-
Emergency Needs
Intervention/Outreach and Information and Referral: For persons 60 and over
who require assistance with obtaining food, money for payment of bills
(utilities, medication, rent, etc.), and information and referral to other
services.

FY 2004
founded cases by category will not add up to the total cases due to incomplete
data.
-
The
Virginia Department of Social Services previously required that APS investigations
be initiated within one day in emergencies and within five days for
non-emergencies. Staff initiated all
APS investigations within the required timeframes. Since FY 2005, the requirement is that all investigations be
initiated within 24 hours.
-
In
accordance with Virginia Department of Social Services policy, adults deemed
competent may choose to reject services.
