Questions families ask

Who actually investigates elder abuse reports in New York - a state agency or the county?

Adult Protective Services (APS) in New York is administered at the county level, through each county's Department of Social Services, consistent with the state's general structure of county-administered social services under state oversight. In Nassau County, APS operates through the Department of Social Services' Office of Adult Services (516-227-8395); in Suffolk County, it operates through the Suffolk County Department of Social Services (631-854-3232).

What happens after I make an Adult Protective Services report in Suffolk County?

Suffolk County APS caseworkers investigate allegations of abuse or neglect of impaired adults living in the community who depend on others for basic needs, and per the county's own published FAQ, caseworkers have 60 days to complete an assessment after intake. The investigation determines whether the person meets APS criteria and what services or protective interventions may be needed.

Is there a statewide phone number for adult protective services if I'm not sure whether to call Nassau or Suffolk directly?

Yes - New York maintains a statewide OCFS/HSCC number for adult services information and APS routing: 1-844-697-3505. This can help route a call correctly if you're unsure whether Nassau County Adult Protective Services (516-227-8395) or Suffolk County Adult Protective Services (631-854-3232) is the right direct line for your situation.
