“When my mom moved to Fox Hill Village, she had been a widow for a few years,” says Fox Hill Village resident Kathy Kenney. “She was quickly impressed with what a wonderful, warm and accepting community it was. She loved the opportunities of the intellectual programs and the opportunities to socialize. She always said the library was her ‘candy store.’ She also played bridge, loved sharing meals and taking trips with her new friends.
“Now, I have made a proactive decision to take care of myself, so my kids won’t have to worry about me. Moving to Fox Hill has given me a sense of security as well as a social network and so much in which to be involved. Like my mom, I play bridge. I also enjoy going to the symphony and the ballet, taking fitness classes, and using the beautiful pool here.
“The peace of mind I had knowing my mother was safe and happy at Fox Hill is now a gift I’m giving to my children.”

Larry Coburn’s connection to Fox Hill Village dates back to the mid-1990s when his parents, Arthur and Priscilla Coburn, moved here. Health concerns prompted their move, but Larry’s parents also had long-time friends who resided at Fox Hill Village, so there were familiar faces and a sense of belonging from day one.
Larry and his wife, Gabriella, experienced a similar sense of belonging when they moved to Fox Hill Village in 2022. They, too, were welcomed by residents they knew from their past and who continue to provide a strong support network.
With family nearby and the chores and responsibilities of homeownership behind them, Larry and Gabriella are enjoying fulfilling lives on their own terms. They participate in activities both within and outside Fox Hill Village. For Larry, this includes the choir and a business lunch group.
“We really appreciate that we can be ourselves here without feeling the pressure to conform to a particular lifestyle,” says Larry.

Fox Hill Village resident Cici Hunt has been performing music since she was a young girl. She began her career in one of the original casts of “Up With People” back in the ’60s and she’s been singing, writing, and teaching music ever since.

Currently the choral director at three senior living communities including Fox Hill Village, Cici is now writing a musical. So, what does this multitalented artist love about Fox Hill Village? “Life here allows me to continue my journey and express my creativity and interests,” she says. “There is so much energy, joy, and friendship here.”
We’re delighted that Cici has chosen Fox Hill Village as her home for a creative and joyful retirement. She’s our kind of people.

Since its founding in 1990, Fox Hill Village has been home to a broad range of interesting and engaging individuals. Today, our community boasts more than 20 second-generation residents — those whose parents previously lived here and who ultimately chose Fox Hill for themselves. Now, residents are sharing the stories of how their parents came to live at Fox Hill, what they enjoyed, how the community has changed, and what led these second-generation residents to make the same choice.
“My mother, [Margaret “Peggy” Platt Gray], lived in a large house overlooking Buzzard’s Bay,” recalls Sam Gray. “Our young family was in a house next door during summers and weekends. She had many friends and a very busy life. She enjoyed her life there and was hesitant to make the move to Fox Hill Village. But, as time went on, it became clear that the large home was too much for her and she needed the help Fox Hill would offer.
“In retrospect, it’s a shame she didn’t move to Fox Hill earlier so she could have enjoyed every part of the vibrant Fox Hill lifestyle.”

Current resident Martha Bisbee is one example. Martha shared: “My mother, Harriet Hodgdon, chose Fox Hill Village even before it was constructed. My aunt followed her here shortly after. Mom enjoyed exploring the local area and participating on several committees.
“When my husband, Tom, and I started looking at communities, location was important to us. Fox Hill was on our list because I knew how much my mother loved her time here.
“Now we, too, enjoy the friendliness of the residents. The community has a familiar feel to us, but it has also changed a lot over the years. We appreciate that it is less formal now — suits and ties are no longer required for dinner — and so many wonderful new amenities have been added.”

My mother and her husband loved living at Fox Hill Village so much that, when my wife and I started considering a community for ourselves, there was no question that we would love it here too. We’ve enjoyed the social aspect and how easy it is to gather with friends for a pre-dinner cocktail and dinner. My wife especially loved not having to cook.
There are wonderful new amenities and more
diverse program offerings as well, so I’m never
at a loss for something fun or interesting to do.
