Protective Services for Adults (PSA)

• Description:

  The Adult Services Unit provides a variety of specialized services to adults ages 18 and older whose condition or circumstances make them vulnerable to abuse, neglect and exploitation by others.

  Where there is a concern that a resident of Washington County may be in a situation where they are being abused, neglected, or exploited, the Adult Protective Unit will accept a referral where intervention is requested. Referrals must meet specific criteria set forth by the State of New York. Once a referral is accepted, an Adult Services Caseworker will complete an assessment.

  Adults have the right to make their own decisions. They may choose to accept or refuse the services that are offered. Where the intervention is accepted, the Caseworker will work with the individual to create a plan.
