Each of these counties runs Adult Protective Services through its own county Job and Family Services department, not through Hamilton County's line. Contact your county's JFS office directly.
What to do next
Ohio's county-by-county APS structure means a family moving between suburbs, or with relatives spread across our four-county coverage area, needs to know which office actually applies. If you're unsure which county's JFS department covers your specific situation, Hamilton County's elder protection line can often help point you toward the right office even if the concern itself is outside Hamilton County. Don't assume one county's contact information applies to a parent living in a neighboring county -- the departments are administratively separate even though the underlying state framework (ORC Chapter 5101, OAC 5101:2-20) is the same.
