Who We Are

The Department of Social Services investigates reports of abuse, neglect, and exploitation of adults aged 60 and over and incapacitated adults ages 18 and over. The program's goal is to lessen or alleviate the risk of abuse and neglect, including self-neglect, among seniors or adults who need protection. Individuals must be city residents or the incident must have occurred in the city in order to be eligible for this service.

Types of adult abuse include physical abuse, mental or psychological abuse, sexual abuse, neglect, self-neglect and financial exploitation.



For more information on the services available or to report suspected abuse, neglect or exploitation of an adult, please call our office. To report at night or on weekends, call 1-888-832-3858.



For more information about adult abuse, visit the Virginia State Department of Social Services.
