Vulnerable Adult Law

Vulnerable Adult Law refers to legal protections designed to safeguard adults who may be unable to protect themselves due to age, disability, or mental impairment. This law aims to prevent abuse, neglect, and exploitation of these individuals. It outlines reporting requirements for suspected abuse, establishes legal procedures for intervention, and provides mechanisms for support and care. The goal is to ensure that vulnerable adults can live safely and with dignity, while receiving necessary assistance and protection from harm.
