  10. Vulnerable Adult Does Not Consent to the Provision of Needed Services and Retains Capacity
  1. “Vulnerable adult” means an adult who, because of physical or mental disability or other impairment, may be subject to maltreatment and is substantially impaired in his or her ability to independently:
    1. provide adequately for his or her own care or custody;
    2. manage his or her property and financial affairs effectively;
    3. meet essential requirements for mental or physical health or safety; or
    4. protect himself or herself from maltreatment without assistance. This determination is not made based on a person’s eligibility for disability benefits from any source or on the impairment being permanent, but solely on the adult’s reported physical or mental condition at the time an APS referral is received, and the APS specialist’s assessment of that condition is made during service planning or investigation.
  2. If AV was interviewed prior to death in an investigation, the investigation shall be completed, and referral should not be closed based on death.
