Common questions about Elder Abuse in Arizona

Answered by Arizona Attorney Search Network

What's the difference between elder abuse and a regular tort?

ARS § 46-455 elder-abuse claims allow treble damages and mandatory attorneys' fees that ordinary negligence claims do not. They also impose liability on a broader set of defendants (anyone in a position of trust). And they apply a more protective standard - some conduct that would not be actionable as ordinary negligence (e.g., neglectful institutional care that doesn't quite meet medical-malpractice standards) can support an elder-abuse claim.

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.
