Adult Services

"Adult Protective Services (APS) are provided to assist individuals 18 years of age or older whose physical and/or mental impairments prevent them from meeting their basic needs for food, clothing, shelter or medical care, or to protect themselves from abuse, neglect or dangerous situations. One of the primary goals of Adult Protective Services is the provision of services that maximize an individual's independence, freedom and decision-making ability. The least restrictive interventions should begin with those interventions that are voluntary."

Adoption Services

"Adoption is a method provided by law that creates the legal relationship of parent and child. After an adoption is finalized, the adoptive parent assumes all the rights and responsibilities for the child that the birth parent would have. Also, the adopted child has the same rights and responsibilities as would any child born to the adoptive parents.When you adopt a waiting child, you will be giving that child a permanent family and another chance in life. All children deserve a loving, committed, safe, and permanent family."
