Testing a better approach to protect older adults from harm
This trial studies a new way for Adult Protective Services (APS) to support older adults who may be experiencing abuse or neglecting their own care. If you are 60 or older and APS is already looking into your situation, this research might help improve services for you and others.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 60 years old or older.
- You must be living in your own home or in the community (not in a nursing home).
- Adult Protective Services (APS) must be investigating your case because of possible abuse or self-neglect.
