Report elder or dependent-adult abuse, neglect, or financial exploitation in Kern County through the official county APS hotline listed by California CDSS.
Adult Protective Services (APS) investigates reports of abuse, neglect, and financial exploitation of elders and dependent adults. California law requires APS to respond to mandated and voluntary reports in each county.
CDSS lists county APS 24-hour hotlines and intake lines - use the Kern County entry on the official county APS directory. In immediate danger, call 911 first, then APS.
An APS social worker assesses risk, may visit the home, and can link the elder to IHSS reassessment, ombudsman services, or law enforcement when crimes are suspected.
Kern County has about 105,653 residents age 65 and older (1.8% of California's 65+ population, #14 statewide) in the other_ca region per U.S. Census Bureau ACS 5-year estimates. Higher senior counts usually mean more demand for IHSS, AAA care management, and APS reports.
