The Missouri Department of Health and Senior Services (DHSS) investigates abuse, neglect, and exploitation of vulnerable individuals 60 and older and people with disabilities between 18 and 59. These individuals may live in the community or in long-term care facilities. Either way, they are unable to protect their own interests or adequately perform or obtain services necessary to meet their essential human needs (192.2400, RSMo).
Missouri's Adult Abuse and Neglect Hotline responds to reports of abuse, bullying, neglect, and financial exploitation. If you suspect someone is being abused, bullied, neglected or exploited, call the hotline at 800-392-0210. The hotline operates 365 days per year from 7 a.m. to 12 a.m. People who are deaf or hard of hearing may utilize Relay Missouri by calling 1-800-735-2466. Due to the possible need for mandated reporters to report a concern to the Central Registry Unit (CRU) during the hours of 12:00 a.m. and 7:00 a.m. (when the hotline is not in operation), Online Reporting is available for use.

What about my rights?
A competent older person may refuse all services and interventions. No decisions are made about a competent adult without her or her involvement and consent.
A facility resident has the right to:
- be free from mental and physical abuse;
- be informed of their medical condition;
- select their own physician;
- participate in planning their care;
- refuse treatment;
- voice grievances;
- be treated with respect and dignity; and
- have treatments provided in privacy.
For adults participating in the Protective Services Program, consideration is given to the following inherent rights:
- self-determination
- protection
- confidentiality
- participate in care planning
- receive assistance
- refuse services
- refuse medical treatment
All programs stress the competent adult's right to make decisions regarding care.
Adult Protective Services
For community-dwelling adults and persons with disabilities, the Department of Health and Senior Services provides Adult Protective Services (APS). Protective services are provided on behalf of eligible adults who are unable to:
- manage their own affairs;
- carry out the activities of daily living; or,
- protect themselves from abuse, neglect, or exploitation which may result in harm or a hazard to themselves or others.
The purpose of Adult Protective Services is to:
- promote independence;
- maximize client choice and provide for meaningful client input for preferences;
- keep the adult at home by providing quality alternatives to institutional care; and,
- empower the older adult to attain or maintain optimal self-determination.
