Baltimore County DSS, Adult Protective Services
|
|
Description
|
ADULT PROTECTIVE SERVICES: Offers professional services to adults 18 years of age or older who lack the mental or physical capacity to sufficiently provide for their daily needs to protect their health, safety and welfare. An adult at-risk of endangerment is one who is maltreated, has inadequate food, clothing and shelter, is being financially exploited, or lacks essential medical care. DSS investigates the reports and arranges for services to remedy the situation. Legal mandates require adults in abuse or neglect cases to be seen within 5 business days. If no family member or individual is available to be the guardian, DSS will be appointed guardian for persons under age 65. Area Agency on Aging will be guardian for persons ages 65 and older.
