Brazos Valley Adult Protective Services Community Board Inc

The mission of the BVAPSVB, Inc. is to provide resources, advocacy & leadership on behalf of the abused neglected, or financially exploited seniors and adults over the age of 18 with disabilities in TX in conjunction with APS. Also, to develop, enhance & advance the public's awareness & understanding of abuse, neglect & exploitation as it relates to adults 65 & older & persons 18 years of age & older with a disability through increased community involvement, awareness, recognition & advocacy.

As a volunteer board, we support the Adult Protective Services Case Managers for Unit 61, which serves the Brazos Valley and 7 surrounding counties. We serve as a stopgap for circumstances that exceed the limitations of a state-run entity. We provide:
• Emergency food boxes
• Educational events to educate the community on abuse, neglect, and exploitation of adults and how to spot it and report it.
• Durable medical equipment such as hospital beds, walkers, bed rails, etc.
• Funding for other miscellaneous items needed to help APS clients.

Testimonials

" There could be no definition of a successful life that does not include service to others." "This quote really stuck out because the board does just this. You guys do service to our APS clients and the community, whether it is with fans, heater drives, or booths at events to talk about what APS and the board does." Nikki APS Caseworker.
