About Us
Our Mission
Our mission is to provide a continuum of holistic care choices for the seniors we serve. We strive to do so in a family-style manner that enhances quality of life. We consider ourselves stewards and guardians of all we serve.
Tradition of Excellent Care
For over the last sixty years, The Orchards has continued the traditional values inspired by the Fox Family: respect for one another, concern for each resident’s well-being, and encouragement of individual interests and enjoyment of life’s pleasures.
These values are a gift The Orchards staff members share every day with residents and each other. The Fox Family has continued to operate The Orchards as a place where seniors can age with grace and dignity.
The campus is designed for senior’s needs, while the buildings offer a beautiful stylish, yet comfortable environment indoors.
The Fox family has been caring for seniors since 1952, we care for minds, bodies and souls.
