Alaska’s Adult Protective Services is designed to prevent or stop harm from occurring to elderly men and women. Types of harm include abandonment, physical or mental abuse, exploitation (aka financial abuse), neglect or self neglect.

Although anyone can report elder abuse, some of those required to report include physicians/licensed health care providers, pharmacists, police officers and village health aides.

As of March 2009, there were just 15 nursing homes in Alaska. There were as many as 1,000 cases of elder abuse (includes nursing homes) reported in the 2006 fiscal year, based on the Adult Protection Services figures first reported by KTVA news in Alaska.
