The condition of a home is crucial to the well-being and quality of life of its residents. Unfortunately, before Adult Protective Services got involved, this apartment was plagued by a multitude of problems. The presence of clutter made it difficult to move around freely making it Unsafe, while a bed bug infestation posed health risks and significant discomfort to the occupant. The living conditions were unbearable, and urgent action was required.

Recognizing the client's dire situation, APS took charge and initiated a comprehensive plan to address the apartments issues and restore the client's living environment. This plan included the coordination of a home care agency to handle the thorough cleaning and decluttering while an exterminator tackled the bed bugs. Jointly, they formed a strong partnership to transform the apartment. This was all made possible by the combination of APS State Funds and the funds donated to the APS Advisory Board. Without the additional Advisory Board Funds, APS would have only been able to put a band-aid on the problem and not restore this client's residence to the safe place she deserved.

This is why the Advisory Board works so hard to raise funds, so we can assist with the necessary funds to ensure the job is done right. In this case, It not only improved the physical condition of the apartment but also enhanced the overall well-being and quality of life for its occupant. This successful partnership serves as a shining example of how proactive measures and community support can transform a once-horrible space into a safe and comfortable home.
