1  The Covid-19 pandemic affected the number of APS referrals which fluctuated with the emergency of different variants. The at-risk population served by APS was more reluctant to leave their homes and thus community referral sources were less likely to make referrals. Future projections are based on increased community outreach/education, referrals from Community/Preferred partners and the senior community, along with the official ending of the public health emergency.
2  The increase from FY22 to FY23 is due to clients re-engaging in post-Covid services.
3  The percentage remained stable between FY22 and FY23. No change is anticipated in upcoming years as case management has been effective in assisting clients to remain in the community with supports such as personal care and medical coordination.
4  Adult Protective Services investigations are voluntary for clients with capacity. Therefore, due to self-determination, some clients choose not to follow the program's recommendations, and, as such, rates of recidivism may fluctuate. Six percent is the state's goal, and the program anticipates that the rate will remain at this level.
