Iowa Department of Health and Human Services Adult Protective Services investigates allegations of dependent adult abuse.
Eligibility Criteria
A dependent adult means a person eighteen years of age or older whose ability to perform the normal activities of daily living or to provide for the person’s own care or protection is impaired, either temporarily or permanently.
Instructions for Referral
Call 1-800-362-2178 to report abuse, neglect, exploitation, or self-neglect of a dependent adult. An intake will be created with as much information as available about the person and situation. If a person is in imminent danger, call 911. Do NOT email a report of abuse, neglect or exploitation as this could result in a delayed response to the report.
