Any person can file a report of abuse, neglect or financial exploitation to the Kansas Department of Social and Rehabilitation Services (SRS) at (800) 922-5330 or at the local SRS office. An Adult Protective Service (APS) worker will conduct an investigation and make a finding. Sometimes the abused individuals are referred to community-based services that will provide them with necessary care. The main goal of APS is to protect abused, neglected or exploited individuals. If an individual is competent, they do not have to consent to protective services.
