Adult Protective Services, under the Mississippi Department of Human Services, Division of Aging & Adult Services, investigates allegations of abuse, neglect, and exploitation of vulnerable persons residing in private home settings, as well as any follow-up services provided by Division of Aging and Adult Services (DAAS) to those vulnerable persons as a result of the investigations.

A vulnerable person is defined in the Mississippi Vulnerable Persons Act as a person 18 years of age or older, or any minor whose ability to perform the normal activities of daily living, or to provide for his or her own care, protection from abuse, neglect, exploitation or improper sexual contact, is impaired due to:

Dating Agency Near Hernando Ms Obituaries

  • mental, emotional, physical, or developmental disability or dysfunction.
  • brain damage.
  • the infirmities of aging.

The term “vulnerable person” also includes residents or patients, regardless of age, in a care facility.

Report abuse of vulnerable persons living in the following settings to Adult Protective Services:

  • a private home setting (i.e., in his/her own home or the home of another person).
  • an unlicensed personal care home with three or fewer residents unrelated to the operator.
  • a home setting that does not require a license to operate under the Mississippi State Department of Health guidelines (i.e., boarding home).

Reports received by the Centralized Intake Unit are electronically transmitted to an Adult Protective Services regional supervisor for the county where the alleged victim resides. The APS supervisor reviews the report and makes the screening decision for further handling. If the report meets criteria for an APS investigation, the supervisor assigns the report to an APS worker.

Report abuse occurring within licensed care facilities (i.e., nursing homes, personal care homes), or unlicensed personal care homes with four or more residents unrelated to the operator to the Mississippi State Department of Health at 800-227-7308 or the Office of the Attorney General, Medicaid Fraud Control Unit at 800-852-8341.

The Vulnerable Persons Act mandates that any person, including but not limited to the following, who knows or suspects that a vulnerable person has been or is being abused, neglected or exploited, shall immediately file a report. This includes persons who are a:

  • Attorney, physician, osteopathic physician, medical examiner, chiropractor or nurse engaged in the admission, treatment or care of a vulnerable person.
  • Health professional or mental health professional.
  • A practitioner who relies solely on spiritual means for healing.
  • Social worker, family protection worker, family protection specialist or other professional adult care, residential or institutional staff.
  • State, county or municipal criminal justice employee or law enforcement officer.
  • Human rights advocacy committee or long-term care ombudsman council member.
  • Accountant, stockbroker, financial advisor or consultant, insurance agent or consultant, investment advisor or consultant, financial planner, or any officer or employee of a bank, savings and loan, credit union or any other financial service provider.

To the extent possible, a report should contain, but not be limited to:

  • Name, age, race, sex, physical address and location of the vulnerable person.
  • Name, address and telephone number of the alleged perpetrator.
  • Name, address and telephone number of the caregiver, if different from the alleged perpetrator.
  • Whether or not the vulnerable person is self-neglecting.

  • The potential danger to Adult Protective Services staff who may visit the home (i.e., firearms, drugs).

Statutorily, investigations are required to be initiated within 48 hours if immediate attention is needed, or within 72 hours if a vulnerable person is not in immediate danger, to determine whether the vulnerable person is in need of protective services and what services are needed. If an emergency exists, the reporter is advised to call local law enforcement.

Agency

The purpose of the investigation is to determine the validity of the report and to assess the need for protective services. Services from the agency are intended to preserve the vulnerable person’s rights with the least restrictive intrusion while maintaining his or her well-being.

Protective services cannot be forced involuntarily upon a mentally capable vulnerable person.

No. MDHS does not conduct criminal investigations. However, MDHS files a preliminary report of its findings to the Office of the Attorney General, Vulnerable Adults Unit within 48 hours if immediate attention is needed, or within 72 hours if a vulnerable person is not in immediate danger, to determine whether the vulnerable person is in need of protective services and what services are needed. MDHS makes additional reports as new information or evidence becomes available. The Vulnerable Adults Unit conducts criminal investigations and prosecutes the perpetrator who has abused, neglected or exploited a vulnerable person living in a private setting. Also, MDHS is required to file a report with the local district attorney’s office and the Attorney General’s Office when there is reasonable cause to believe that a caretaker or other person has abused, neglected or exploited a vulnerable person.

Before You Visit: Making an Appointment

Testing is open to all Mississippians, but before visiting a county health department or other testing site, you must first be screened by speaking with a UMMC clinician to determine your likelihood of COVID-19 infection or exposure. This can be done by calling 601-496-7200 (8 a.m. to 5 p.m., Monday – Saturday) or completing the UMMC COVID-19 online patient Screening form. If the clinician determines that your likelihood of infection is high, you will receive an appointment for drive-through testing. (Teachers and school staff will always receive an appointment when they call or apply.)

After You Are Tested

If you have symptoms of COVID-19, you should isolate yourself while you wait for test results. If you have a sample taken at one of these locations, it is essential to remain at home and away from other family members as much as possible to prevent the possible spread of disease.

Printed test results from selected MSDH testing events

For some special COVID-19 testing events, testing is performed by the Mississippi Public Health Laboratory (MPHL). If you were tested at a Mississippi State Department of Health testing event and were told that your test sample would be processed by the MPHL, then you can get a printed copy of your test results, if needed, by following the instructions below.
