I have an elderly neighbor living down the street. Recently, it seems she has been getting more confused, getting lost in the neighborhood and looking for her husband who has been deceased for a few years. Is this appropriate to refer to Adult Protective Services?
Yes. If you find changes in an elderly persons behavior that causes concern, you may make that referral to the agency. Our Adult Protective Services staff can make a home visit and determine the cause of the confusion and, if needed, locate the appropriate services to maintain that adults safety.
