AB  - In 2015, the Administration for Community Living (ACL) established the first 
      federal "home" for Adult Protective Services (APS). This leadership has included 
      working collaboratively with state Adult Protective Service systems to ensure 
      that older adults and adults with disabilities are afforded the same protections 
      against abuse, neglect, and financial exploitation regardless of where in the 
      country they live. As part of that leadership, ACL created draft Voluntary 
      Consensus Guidelines for State APS Systems. ACL undertook a process of public and 
      stakeholder engagement and analyzed the resulting comments to improve upon the 
      initial draft of the draft to arrive at the final version. This article examines 
      the comments, including the concerns raised by the commenters about specific 
      areas of the Guidelines, areas identified for future research, and reflections 
      and opinions on the role of the federal government in guiding the development of 
      the field of adult protection.
