Tennessee Adult Protective Services investigates abuse, neglect, self-neglect and financial exploitation of adults who cannot protect themselves because of a physical or mental limitation. Clinicians who see these signs can report through the One DHS Customer Portal without logging in. APS staff investigate, assess whether protective services are needed, and provide services to reduce the risk to the adult.
Any person, including physicians, nurses and other health care providers, completes the whole online report. Reporters can give contact details or remain anonymous.

A form is listed only after its name and number were confirmed on the issuing agency’s or insurer’s own website, or in the form itself. Each entry links to that source. The list was last checked in October 2026. Forms and their requirements change without notice, so check the official page for the current version before you complete one.

Yes. TDHS says reporters may share their contact information or remain anonymous, and confidentiality remains an APS priority. Either way, each report receives a reference number that can be used to return to the portal and track it.
TDHS defines abuse as inflicting physical or mental harm or placing someone in fear of harm, including emotional, sexual and financial abuse. Neglect is a caregiver not meeting a dependent adult's basic needs; self-neglect is an adult unable to care for themselves; financial exploitation is a caregiver misusing funds meant for the adult.
