Adult Protective Services Handbook Revision May 2012
This revision of the Adult Protective Services In-Home Handbook was published on May 1, 2012. Summaries of new or revised items are provided below.
Name Change for DADS Program
DADS has changed the name of ICF/MR (intermediate care facility for the mentally retarded) to ICF/ID (intermediate care facility for persons with intellectual disability). The handbook has been updated to reflect this and add additional people-first language.
