This site provides information about abuse of seniors and adults with physical and developmental disabilities and what to do if you believe you or someone you know is being abused or neglected.

 

Everyone should report abuse. We all have a responsibility to protect those who cannot protect themselves.

 

The Oregon Department of Human Services (DHS) 2011 Adult Protective Services data report shows financial exploitation and self-neglect as the two areas of abuse and neglect with the greatest number of victims among elderly and disabled Oregonians. This report helps us better understand Oregon’s adult abuse trends more clearly.
