Utah APS Online Report for Vulnerable Adults

Utah law (Utah Code 26B-6-205) requires any person who has reason to believe a vulnerable adult is being abused, neglected or exploited to notify Adult Protective Services or the nearest law enforcement office immediately. The Division of Aging and Adult Services takes these reports through an online intake form available around the clock. APS uses the information to decide whether it can open a case.

Who completes it

Any person, including physicians, nurses and other health care providers, completes the whole online intake. There are no sections for the adult or a family member.

Submitting and payment

How to submit it
Use the online intake form at any hour, or call APS during weekday business hours. The online form is for situations that do not need an emergency response; call 911 in an emergency.

Good to know

  • The intake asks whether the incident happened in a facility, then for the adult's details, types of abuse, up to three suspected abusers, reporter details, incident details and others who know.
  • The concerns narrative has a 2,000-character limit and asks for specific examples, timing and harm, plus whether the suspected abuser still has access to the adult.
  • For suspected financial exploitation, the form asks for the estimated loss, the last four digits of targeted accounts and whether a trust or power of attorney exists.
  • The report is not submitted unless a confirmation message appears, so wait for it before closing the page.
