This protocol is an informational tool that outlines adult protective services (APS) operations in Ohio. The protocol was written to assist APS workers in performing their job responsibilities more efficiently. The document outlines the various activities and tasks in the delivery of APS from identifying signs and symptoms of abuse, neglect and exploitation to case termination. The protocol also includes a sample assessment tool, reporting forms and court filing forms to serve as a guide for APS staff.
