Questions families ask

What should I do if I think my elderly parent is in immediate physical danger right now?

Call 911 immediately if a senior is in immediate danger. Adult Protective Services and the DHSR facility complaint line are important resources for investigating and addressing abuse, neglect, or facility conditions, but they are not emergency response services and should not be used in place of 911 when someone's safety is at risk right now.

Does Adult Protective Services get involved if my mother is being neglected by a family caregiver at home, not in a facility?

Yes. County Adult Protective Services investigates suspected abuse, neglect, or exploitation of vulnerable adults regardless of setting, including situations where a family member or informal caregiver is providing inadequate or harmful care in a private home. Reports go to the county DSS where the older adult lives -- for Wake County, that's Wake County Human Services at 919-212-7264.

Can I report suspected abuse anonymously in North Carolina?

Reports to county Adult Protective Services and to NC DHSR's facility complaint line can generally be made without providing extensive identifying information about the reporter, though specific procedures may vary by county DSS office. Contact the relevant county DSS Adult Services office (919-212-7264 for Wake County) or DHSR's Complaint Intake Unit (1-800-624-3004) directly to ask about anonymous reporting options for a specific situation.
