Arkansas’ Adult Protection Services provides protection for endangered and impaired elders from abuse due to the mental or physical inability of the elder to take care of himself or herself. If the elder is a resident of a long-term care facility such as a nursing home or assisted living center, it is the primary responsibility of the facility to provide adequate care of the elders.

A majority of cases reported to the Adult Protection Services in Arkansas involves self-neglect. Although anyone can report elder abuse or nursing home abuse, those required by law to report these crimes include medical personnel such as doctors, nurses and dentists, government personnel including law enforcement officers and fireman, and employees of financial institutions.
