Who qualifies as a "dependent adult"?

  1. A person over 65 years living independently

  2. A person between 18 and 64 years with mental or physical limitations

  3. A person under 18 years with developmental disabilities

  4. A resident of a nursing facility under 24-hour care

The correct answer is: A person between 18 and 64 years with mental or physical limitations

A "dependent adult" is typically defined as an individual who, due to mental or physical limitations, is unable to fully care for themselves or manage their daily needs without assistance. Therefore, a person between 18 and 64 years with such limitations embodies the characteristics of a dependent adult, as they may rely on others for support in various aspects of life due to age-related or disability-related challenges. In contrast, individuals over 65 who are living independently, those under 18 with developmental disabilities, and residents of nursing facilities may have different definitions or protections under the law. While they may require assistance, they do not specifically meet the broader criteria that define a dependent adult in this context, which focuses on the need for assistance in daily living due to mental or physical challenges for those aged 18 to 64.
