ORCHARD PARK, New York—Fox Run CEO Bill Wlodarczyk has announced a new opportunity for seniors in Western New York. Fox Run at Orchard Park is partnering with the only other Continuing Care Retirement Community in Western New York, Canterbury Woods to create FoxWoods; a home health care option for the two respective communities’ Community Members.
FoxWoods will be able to provide reliable and consistent homecare for anyone in the independent living communities at Fox Run at Orchard Park, and Canterbury Woods Williamsville as well as Canterbury Wood Gates Circle. This service will be for anyone who needs a little extra help with getting out, or their day-to-day tasks. Hired companions and nurses will travel between all three campuses attending to the needs of only independent living Community Members.
“This is such a great opportunity for both the Communities and the staff," said Wlodarczyk. "Staff will only have to travel to one place and take care of multiple clients as opposed to traveling all over to take care of a few clients."
He also commented on how the two communities came together to collaborate and do what’s best for their clients, just another added advantage of retirement living.
Canterbury Woods located in Williamsville, is home to 243 Independent Living apartments and patio homes, Gates Circle located in downtown Buffalo, New York is home to 50 apartments. Fox Run at Orchard Park is in the heart of the Southtowns, just a short drive to Buffalo, and currently has 180 independent living apartments and patio homes. Staffing shortages everywhere are an unfortunate reality of post-COVID-19, that said, this collaboration is a solution for employees and families to have the best of both worlds. Another powerful advantage of FoxWoods is knowing the staff personally, as opposed to families of community members at both locations having to do their own research in finding an aide for their loved ones.
