Second Abuse & Neglect Prevention Survey Coming This Month
As a result of the 30 recommendations from the Abuse and Neglect Prevention Task Force Report and the work accomplished thus far, AHCCCS, the Arizona Department of Economic Security, and the Sonoran University Center for Excellence in Developmental Disabilities (UCEDD) will conduct a provider survey in February.
This survey, like the first survey conducted in fall 2021, will ask for feedback from providers of long-term-care services, including Home and Community Based Services, residential, institutional, day care, employment, and direct care workers.
The survey will be consistent with the first survey and allow for:
- Assessment of availability and quality of resources to support prevention and reporting of abuse and neglect,
- Assessment of quality of resources to support prevention and reporting of abuse and neglect,
- Utilization of resources to support prevention and reporting of abuse and neglect,
- Assessment of barriers and facilitators to prevention and reporting of abuse and neglect,
- Assessment of employer’s growth in commitment to prevention and reporting of abuse and neglect, and
- Assessment of Arizona’s commitment to and growth in prevention and reporting of abuse and neglect.
Once the survey opens, a QR code and informational flier will be available to share with providers of long-term-care services.
