Adult Protection
The Child and Adult Protection Services Division serves vulnerable adults who are victims or at-risk of abuse, 忽视, self-忽视 or financial exploitation.
We serve individuals age 18 and older who lack sufficient understanding or capacity to make or communicate responsible decisions concerning their affairs, or are unable to perform or obtain services necessary for their health, safety or welfare. This could mean an adult who is frail, 上了年纪的, suffers dementia or cognitive impairments, has physical impairments or developmental disabilities or other concerns.
报告 担忧
If you have concerns that an 上了年纪的 or at-risk adult is being mistreated or is self-忽视ing, 请 call our 24/7 hotline at 303-636-1750.
Your report is confidential. Please provide as much information as possible about the adult and the alleged perpetrator, including contact information, medical / disabling condition and specific concerns. In case of an emergency, 请 call 911.
