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.

Nebraska’s most vulnerable adults are treated with dignity and respect, and have 

opportunities and resources to reside in the least restrictive environment of their 

choice, which is free from abuse, neglect, and financial exploitation. 
APS Program Planning Template: State/Territory/District-Specific Focus 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.

Nebraska’s Adult Protective Services guards vulnerable adults from abuse, neglect, and 

exploitation by investigating and providing temporary assistance until risk is minimized 

and services are secured.

Every action taken by APS must balance the duty to protect the safety of the vulnerable 

adult with the adult’s right to self-determination. These actions include the provision of 

direct services, concrete supports, community based supports and economic assistance. 
APS Program Planning Template: State/Territory/District-Specific Focus 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.

The core values of the Nebraska Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS)

are:

• Constant Commitment to Excellence.

• High Personal Standard of Integrity.

• Positive and Constructive Attitude and Actions.

• Openness to New Learning.

• Dedication to the Success of Others.

The Guiding Principles of Adult Protective Services in Nebraska are: 

• Consistent commitment to meeting the needs and ensuring safety of

vulnerable adults.

• Honor Nebraska’s most vulnerable adults.

• Dedication to learning best practices for serving vulnerable adults.

• Integrity in serving all Nebraskans.

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, relevant

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.

State of Nebraska -Goals of Adult Protective Services

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?
