Thank you for bringing your concerns to our attention.
Confidentiality - You can make reports confidentially, and even anonymously, although the more information given, the easier it is to investigate the reports. Tulare County HHSA will make every attempt to safeguard the confidentiality of any report consistent with legal responsibilities and our need to review and investigate the incident.
When everyday tasks such as cooking dinner, climbing stairs, or managing your medical appointments become too difficult for you to do on your own, the Multipurpose Senior Services Program, also known as MSSP, might be able to help.
In Tulare County self-neglect is the most common condition reported to our Adult Protective Services program, typically accounting for up to 50% of all investigations. The goal of APS is to maintain the safety, health, and independence of the individual.
