Renaissance Gardens to open mid-2007

Imagine this. You have moved to Fox Run, and are enjoying all its amenities while living independently in your comfortable apartment home. Health issues may arise along the way, but the people at Fox Run’s Home Health Services help you deal with them in the comfort of your home.

Then, one day you have surgery and need more care while you recover, more care than can be provided in your apartment home. If you were living in a house or condo, you would have to look for such care elsewhere.

A full continuum of care
Beginning in mid-2007, a full continuum of care will be available including skilled nursing, assisted living, and short-term rehabilitation (occupational, physical, and speech therapy) when Fox Run opens its Renaissance Gardens neighborhood.

Personalized to meet individual needs
“Too often, people requiring assisted living or skilled nursing services are institutionalized, and must live according to a schedule set by the facility. Erickson Communities, Fox Run’s developer, believes in a culture that focuses on each individual’s personality and how they wish to live each day; and that philosophy should prevail throughout the campus. Therefore, Renaissance Gardens is simply an extension of the wonderful lifestyle people have come to enjoy at Fox Run,” says Jean.

“Renaissance Gardens will have 132 private rooms, with 88 devoted to Skilled Nursing Care and 44 to Assisted Living. It will have a state-of-the-art electronic medical records system, and it will offer a full therapy component, including a therapy gym. The architecture of the building supports Erickson’s person-centered approach with private rooms, smaller and more private living rooms, and sensory features like gardens that bring the outdoors into the interior living space,” Jean continues.
