Description of Proposed Guidance Document Changes

Adult Protective Services (APS) are services provided by the local departments of social services (LDSS or local departments) that are necessary to protect an adult as defined in § 63.2-1603 from abuse, neglect or exploitation. The AS Manual builds upon regulations found in 22VAC30-100 and 22VAC30-130 and provides guidance for local departments regarding the intake and investigation of reports of adult abuse, neglect or exploitation and case documentation. The proposed changes to the AS Manual are limited to Chapter 2, Adult Protective Services, and are summarized below. • Added references to the new APS online reporting portal where appropriate. • Clarifies the method by which an APS report may be made to the LDSS. • Clarifies that electronic reporting includes hotline reports and portal reports. • Corrects the name of the nationwide elder assistance website. • Updates information about the State Long-Term Care Ombudsman.
