Vision 2025

The Vision clarifies what your ARPA Grant 1 Program 

aspires to become and to achieve. It is designed to 

inspire by providing a picture of where the program 

is heading in 3-5 years.

Note: If you are a part of a larger organization, does 

it have its own future vision? If so, you may want to 

adapt it to your own program.

APS’ long-term vision for Texas is a state where APS isn’t needed; a state where 

everyone ages well and lives according to their wishes, and when aging well 

independently is no longer an option, there is a supportive community available to 

care for the person. 

Texas APS Vision Statement:

Protecting with Purpose, Passion, and Persistence
APS Program Planning Template: TEXAS APS Page 2 

Mission Statement

Mission and Values statements can be an effective 

tool to educate the public; state and local 

government officials; state government agencies; 

provider agencies; and service recipients as to what 

the Adult Protective Services is and how they do 

business.

Mission Statements answer four key questions 

about your APS Program:

• Who do we serve?

• What needs do they have that we can fulfil? 

• How do we meet those needs? How do we 

make the clients' lives better?

• Does it link directly to the Vision Statement?

Note: if you are a part of a larger organization, does 

it have its Mission Statement? If so, you may want 

to adapt it for your own program.

Texas APS Mission Statement:

To protect older adults and people with disabilities from abuse, neglect, and exploitation.

While Texas APS did not have adequate time at its strategic planning retreat to reexamine its published vision and mission statements, Texas APS does acknowledge there 

is a need for a more expansive Mission Statement along the lines of:

To protect older adults and people with disabilities from abuse, neglect, and exploitation 

by investigating and providing or arranging for services as necessary to alleviate or 

prevent further maltreatment.
APS Program Planning Template: TEXAS APS Page 3 

Guiding Principles / Core Values

Guiding Principles or Core Values guide internal 

processes and client interactions for your APS 

Program. 

Note: if you are a part of a larger organization, does it 

have its own set of Guiding Principles or Core Values? 

If so, you may want to adapt it for this program.

Texas APS Core Values:

We champion the SAFETY and DIGNITY of vulnerable adults.

We conduct ourselves with INTEGRITY. 

We demonstrate RESPECT for all persons.

We COLLABORATE to improve outcomes.
APS Program Planning Template: TEXAS APS Page 4 

Goals for Program Improvement

These are goals to be obtained in order to move your APS 

program from current practices to your Vision.

Now that you have new funds targeted for your work with 

APS, what can be enhanced or improved in your current 

program? These goals must meet the APS Formula Grant 

requirements. It is recommended these goals become 

SMART goals (specific, measurable, actionable, and 

timely).

Using the results of your Environmental Scan, identify key 

issues that need to be addressed during this planning 

cycle. 

These are goals to move your APS Program from current 

practices to your Vision #1.

*******************

At its strategic planning retreat (September 28th – 30th, 

2021), Texas APS leadership developed three goals, in 

connection with the three elements of the APS world: 

clients, workforce, and partners. As leadership

brainstormed ideas and initiatives, they were told to ask 

themselves, would this benefit our clients, our workforce, 

our partners? While not everything can benefit all three, a 

lot of things should because these three things are so 

intertwined. Conversely, if a proposed idea benefited one 

of the three, but could harm either of the others, it wasn’t 

considered further.

Note: To accomplish these goals, APS intends to complete activities that are grantfunded as well as activities that are not. While the remainder of this document 

focuses on the grant-funded activities, APS will also produce a 5-year strategic plan 

that will include both grant-funded and non-grant-funded activities. 

****************************************************

Client Goal: Optimize Specialization to Meet Increasingly Complex Client Needs

Texas APS has had success building a specialized pilot unit to handle exploitation 

cases. When APS has been successful recovering funds, often it has been the 

difference between someone continuing to live in their own home versus being 

financially destitute and having to go on public assistance. With this unit in mind, 

and building off those lessons learned, APS will use federal grant money to expand 

the number of exploitation units in the state, with a longer-term view to increase 

the number and breadth of other specialized units.

Workforce Goal: Building the Premier Workforce in the Country

Texas APS has a long history of investing in its people. Texas also knows that past 

actions are no guarantee of future success, given changes in the larger economy and 

workforce. To ensure it has the best workforce possible to serve the growing 

vulnerable population in the state, APS will use federal grant money to begin new 

workforce activities in the areas of recruitment, training, and succession planning.

Partnership Goal: Community Engagement -- Helping Neighbors Help Neighbors

Texas APS knows that to be effective, it needs the support of the public and its 

partners. APS needs the public to be aware of, and recognize, the signs of abuse, 

neglect, and exploitation to ensure vulnerable adults stay safe. In turn, the public 

needs to know when it is safe to help its vulnerable neighbors, or when appropriate, 

call APS to assist. For its part, APS needs its partners, as the issues facing vulnerable 

adults are more than one agency can address alone. Identifying and establishing

partnerships, with interested entities in the healthcare and social services 

ecosystem, will serve to broaden the reach and impact of APS across the state.
APS Program Planning Template: TEXAS APS Page 5 

Targeted Improvement Projects

Using the results of your Environmental Scan and PESTEL, 

describe the targeted improvements and enhancements 

needed for this planning cycle. 

Your improvements should be concrete, measurable, and 

complete. 

WHY is this improvement needed? 

What Purpose or NEED will it fill? 

What RESOURCES will be used? 

What ACTIVITIES will it entail? 

What are the direct OUTPUTS of the activities? What are 

the intended results and how will clients benefit?
