Clinton County Adult Services, a division of the Clinton County Department of Social Services, provides critical support and protective services to vulnerable adults throughout the region. Specializing in Adult Protective Services (APS), the organization offers compassionate assistance to adults aged 18 and older who may be at risk due to physical or mental impairments and who have no one willing or able to help them secure essential care or services. Their dedicated staff conducts investigations into reported cases of abuse, neglect, or exploitation, and works closely with law enforcement, healthcare providers, and community agencies to ensure each individual’s safety and wellbeing.

The agency places a strong emphasis on promoting dignity and autonomy while safeguarding adults from harm. Their culturally sensitive and confidential approach ensures that services are respectful and responsive to the specific needs of every client. In addition to APS, they assist with referrals for services like case management, home care, and housing stabilization. Clinton County Adult Services continually collaborates with state and local partners to advocate for the rights and protection of its adult population.
