Common questions about Elder Abuse in Arizona
Answered by Arizona Attorney Search Network
How do I report elder abuse in Arizona?
Call Arizona's Adult Protective Services hotline at 1-877-SOS-ADULT (1-877-767-2385), available 24/7. Reports can be made anonymously. For immediate danger, call 911. For nursing home or assisted-living complaints, contact the Arizona Department of Health Services. ARS § 46-454 makes reporting mandatory for healthcare workers, social workers, and peace officers.
What is APS in Arizona?
Adult Protective Services is administered by the Arizona Department of Economic Security under ARS Title 46, Chapter 4 (the Adult Protective Services Act). APS receives reports, investigates suspected abuse, neglect, or exploitation, and can arrange protective services including emergency placement, medical coordination, and account freezes. APS does not impose civil or criminal penalties but refers cases to law enforcement and civil counsel.
What damages can I recover under the Arizona vulnerable adult statute?
ARS § 46-455 allows recovery of actual damages, treble (3x) damages for intentional or knowing abuse or exploitation, and reasonable attorneys' fees and costs. The statute can also bar an exploitative person from inheriting from the victim. The combination of treble damages and fee-shifting makes it among the most plaintiff-friendly statutes in Arizona civil practice.
