DC Department of Aging and Community Living (DACL)
If you believe that an adult you know is being mistreated, exploited, or abused, Adult Protective Services (APS) can help assess and provide support. Now housed within the Department of Aging and Community Living (DACL), APS team members work to protect vulnerable adults from physical, financial, or emotional abuse, as well as neglect and self-neglect. APS social workers help to ensure that DC residents in need of protection are connected to the services they need.
Report Abuse
To report allegations of abuse, neglect, self-neglect, and/or exploitation, please call the APS Hotline at (202) 541-3950 available 24-hours 7-days a week; or
Visit the APS office at 500 K Street NE, Washington, DC 20002 between the hours of 8:45 am to 4:45 pm. Walk-ins are accepted.
APS is not a custodial agency. APS does not have the authority to take custody of any adult for any reason.
