Overview
The Adult Services Division (ASD) is designed to meet the needs of Riverside County’s aging and dependent population now and in the future. Adults over 60 are the fastest growing segment of our county’s population, with one in every five adults of the county’s 2.5 million people aged 60 and older – projected to double in coming decades. ASD is committed to providing older, dependent and homeless adults vital resources and services that support their health, safety, wellbeing and
independence. The division is responsible for implementing the Adult Protective Services (APS) programwhich investigates allegations of abuse and neglect and uses specialized teams to help adults with complex needs. Additionally, ASD oversees In-Home Supportive Services (IHSS), a Medi-Cal-based program that funds in-home caregiver services. Our team continues to embrace innovative ways to support our vulnerable adult population – now and for years to come.
