If the suspected abuse is occurring in the community, for example in the vulnerable adult’s home, apartment, condominium, HUD housing, mobile home, etc., the report should be made to Adult Protective Services (APS) at 1 (800) 451-5155. If the suspected abuse is occurring in a licensed facility, for example skilled nursing facility (SNF), board and care, assisted living facility or residential care facility (RCFE), the report should be made to the Ombudsman program at (714) 479-0107. If it is an emergency situation, law enforcement should also be contacted.
