The Adult Protective Services Program (APS) includes the 24 hour, 365 day a year capacity to accept reports of possible adult abuse. The report will either be referred to an appropriate authority, or investigated to assess the needs presented by the situation. APS is a service available to New Jersey residents living in New Jersey who are 18 or older and may be at risk. Contact the APS Agency in your community, or the local AAA immediately if you suspect adult abuse. You may also call the Division of Aging and Community Services, Information and Referral toll free number at 1-800-792-8820.
