Mission & Focus Areas
Areawide’s mission is “advancing the dignity and independence of older adults in our community.” Its website describes information and assistance, health and wellness programs, legal services, nutrition programs, transportation, and long-term care ombudsman services. Its 2024 filing also describes subcontracted caregiver support, including respite, counseling, and training.
Its 2025 grants supported organizations providing senior services, meals, transportation, legal services, home repair, and health promotion. For example, Aging Services Inc. says its mission is to enhance the lives and dignity of Cleveland County senior adults through programs, services, and referrals that promote healthy independent living. Legal Aid Services of Oklahoma describes its mission as making equal justice for all a reality. NewView Oklahoma says it empowers people facing vision loss to live life without limits. These are the grantees’ stated missions, not Areawide’s.
