Maine Adult Protective Services takes reports of abuse, neglect or exploitation of incapacitated or dependent adults by phone or through an online reporting form on the state's AccessGov site. A clinician who suspects a patient who cannot protect themselves is being mistreated, neglected or exploited uses it to notify APS, which investigates and can petition for public guardianship when less restrictive alternatives fail.
Anyone may file, including mandated reporters such as clinicians with care responsibility for an incapacitated or dependent adult; the reporter completes the whole online report. There is no section for the adult or family.

APS Reporting Form (online report of abuse, neglect or exploitation)
This form is completed online with Maine Department of Health and Human Services, Office of Aging and Disability Services, Adult Protective Services, so there is no PDF to fill. Vero Scribe writes the visit note it draws on, so the details are ready when you complete it.
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.

Maine's APS mandated reporter page tells mandated reporters to call APS, which answers 24 hours a day, and to report immediately when they know or suspect abuse, neglect or exploitation. The online form is listed on the main APS page as a second way to report. Life-threatening situations go to 911 first.
OADS lists financial exploitation, such as wrongfully taking or using the adult's property or resources, financial frauds or scams, medication theft and sexual exploitation. Neglect includes a caregiver failing to provide care, food, shelter, clothing or supervision, and self-neglect by an adult who cannot meet their basic needs.
Concerns about anyone under 18 go to the Office of Child and Family Services intake line, not APS. Some child-abuse mandated reporters, including medical professionals and hospital staff, can also file non-emergency reports online through the Katahdin Child Welfare System.
