Vermont's Area Agencies on Aging build a coordinated response to self-neglect through a variety of activities. These include raising awareness, providing education, training and case management to individuals considered self-neglecting.
Adults, 60 years and older, who can be described as self-neglecting.
The Area Agencies on Aging respond to self-neglect referrals and provide case management services to those who are identified as self-neglecting. Case managers work with individuals who are self-neglecting to develop goals identified by the individual and by use of a risk and safety evaluation tool. Goals may be related to food, shelter, medical/mental/financial health or in other areas. To help achieve these goals community partners and resources are accessed and leveraged. Where resources don't exist, the Area Agencies on Aging work to build awareness and capacity.
