Our Story

In the Beginning

From the start of his career, Dr. Tim Fox connected with older adult patients. Early on in his work, he noted flaws in the programs serving this group and set out to change them. After tirelessly reading through Medicare’s regulations, he realized he could provide a new and innovative model of care—one using Medicare Part B to cover geriatric therapy at home. With a laptop and this bold idea, Dr. Fox set up shop in his basement and went knocking on physicians’ doors. Physicians easily saw the benefit to their patients. It was 1998, and FOX Rehabilitation was off and running.

However, the treatment model wasn’t all that was extraordinary. Dr. Fox orchestrated a culture wherein the staff defined the standards. FOX is founded on the belief that great clinicians will do great work if you remove the handcuffs of bureaucracy. This tenet has been proven true beyond all imagination.

FOX Today

What started as a simple practice offering house calls for older adults treated under Medicare Part B has exploded into a multi-state, regional resource of autonomous clinicians going to patients and providing therapy that’s proactive, evidence-based, and focused solely on geriatrics. Patients and staff alike say we’ve saved their lives, their sanity, their world. Of course, we know that it’s they who saved themselves. FOX is simply honored to be a part of that.

I love working with the older adult, because there’s nothing more rewarding than seeing them meet their goals when they previously thought they couldn’t.
