What We Do
AFO collaborates with many partners around a shared vision and set of values. We strive to understand what older adults living in the greater Oxford area need, support existing resources, and create new services to assure that residents can remain and thrive in this community across their life course.
Vision
The VISION of AFO is an inclusive livable community with housing, transportation, social opportunities, and services that support the well-being of citizens of all ages. These resources will enhance personal independence; allow residents to thrive as they age in place; foster residents’ engagement in the community’s civic, economic, and social life, and support individuals and families when a loved one needs additional care.
