What We Do

AFO collaborates with many partners around a shared vision and set of values. We strive to understand what Oxford/Oxford Township older adults 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 Oxford/Oxford Township as a livable community that is safe and secure, has affordable and appropriate housing and transportation options, and has supportive community features and services. 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.
