This reporting system may NOT be used to report suspected abuse, neglect or mistreatment of a person or persons served.

- 60 years of age and older: Report to Protective Services, Executive Office of Elder Affairs at 800-922-2275.
Any employee who attempts to use this tool to report suspected abuse, rather than utilizing the proper channels noted above, may be subject to disciplinary action up to and including termination, pursuant to BAMSI's Progressive Disciplinary Policy.
