The month of May is Older Americans & Adult Abuse Prevention Month.

While acknowledging that many older adults lead healthy, happy lives, this month we recognize that vulnerable older adults need protection from abuse, neglect, and exploitation.

Last year Chesapeake received 1,183 APS reports. A wide variety of protective services are offered to older and vulnerable adults who have been determined by APS to need services.

Helps us to prevent adult abuse, neglect, and exploitation by calling 757-382-2008, or the 24-hour, toll-free APS hotline at: (888) 832-3858.
