Adult Protective Services:
This unit operates 421-LIFE, Hamilton County’s 24-hour line for reporting elder abuse, neglect (by self or others) and exploitation.

State law requires caseworkers to evaluate any risk to the safety and well-being of alleged victims. If they find that there is a risk, caseworkers work with families, social service agencies and other community resources to meet the person's needs and to improve the situation.

Adult Protective also provides temporary, part-time homemaker services to help with routine tasks such as shopping and laundry.

Mt. Airy Center for Homeless Men:
The staff at Mt. Airy Center for Homeless Men helps its customers make a new start in life. Residents receive temporary shelter and food while working in the community and participating in programs designed to help them gain sobriety, self-esteem, discipline, and job experience.

Supplemental Security Income (SSI) Case Management:
This program of the federal Social Security Administration provides a monthly check to adults and children with disabilities. Integrated Services staff members help people file applications and appeals.

County Medical Services (CMS):
Staff in this unit help Hamilton County residents who do not qualify for Medicaid because they are receiving cash assistance through Ohio Works First. Staff help CMS applicants gather the required medical documentation needed, then forward it to the state where a decision is made.

CMS applicants must also apply for SSI. To make an application appointment, call 1-800-772-1213 Monday through Friday, or visit your nearest Social Security office.
