§ 10-106. Voluntary protective services
A. If the Department of Human Services determines, as a result of its investigation, that a vulnerable adult needs protective services, the Department shall immediately provide or arrange for the provision of available protective services in the least restrictive manner, provided the person affirmatively consents to receive these services.
B. 1. When a caretaker of a vulnerable adult who consents to the receipt of protective services refuses to allow the provision of such services to the person, the Department may petition to the court for a decree enjoining the caretaker from interfering with the provision of protective services to the person.
C. If a vulnerable adult does not consent to the receipt of protective services or withdraws consent to the receipt of such services, the services shall be terminated, unless the Department determines that the person lacks capacity to consent, in which case the Department may seek court authorization to provide services pursuant to Section 10-108 of this title.
