Since its founding in 1990, Fox Hill Village has been home to a broad range of interesting and engaging individuals. Today, our community boasts 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, Frances Leland, moved to Fox Hill Village at age 88, shortly after it opened,” recalls resident Steve Leland. “She joined several friends and looked forward to the attractive surroundings and caring environment. She greatly enjoyed many years of playing bridge despite failing vision and hearing. She received advanced care when required and lived here until she was 103.
“As my wife, Molly, and I planned for our future, we wanted to downsize and enjoy a more ‘compact’ lifestyle while still maintaining a sense of connection with our home community and everything we loved about it. We found [Fox Hill Village] had improved its lovely setting and added many new facilities and areas for resident engagement. The emphasis on healthy physical activity and the opportunities for mental stimulation were very attractive.
“We love our [apartment] and find the atmosphere of the community is both gracious and friendly. We’ve made new friends, and we enjoy a variety of leisure opportunities such as bridge classes, fitness classes, Tai Chi, the speaker series and poetry sessions, just to name a few. Plus, the Baker West wing is a wonderful addition with exciting amenities that reflect a modern focus and sensibility”
