Fox Run at Orchard Park was founded by The United Church Home Society, a not-for-profit organization that formed in 1877 with the mission to help older adults find appropriate housing. For over 150 years, the organization built facilities throughout Western New York to provide residency and healthcare services.
The United Church Home Society expanded their services by developing a Lifecare Community at Fox Run, which is sponsored by the United Church Home Society subsidiary, Orchard Park CCRC, Inc.
Today, Fox Run is a not-for-profit, four-star rated facility and one of only two Lifecare communities in Western New York.
