Adult Protective Services (APS)

APS provides assessment and response to reports of elder and dependent adult abuse and neglect. If an adult is determined to be in need of protective services, a social worker intervenes on behalf of the adult to resolve the problems that place the adult at-risk, provides needed supportive services, and, if necessary, places the adult out-of-home for protection.

GA benefits offers financial assistance and emergency homeless assistance to disabled or unemployed single adults. GA also provides SSI advocacy, employment services, and burial assistance.

In-Home Supportive Services (IHSS)

IHSS promotes and assists clients in remaining safely in their own homes. The program staff helps adults locate, hire, train, and supervise in-home care providers. Caregivers provide assistance with tasks the adults aren't able to perform themselves (e.g., bathe, dress, clean house, grocery shop, etc.)
