Brian Walgenbach
Chief Operating Officer
Brian Walgenbach has been responsible for overseeing
the growth and development of Claremont House, Golden
Pond and Inglenook at Brighton. These communities
have maintained excellent occupancy rates and continue
to be leaders in their respective communities. Golden
Pond was acquired in 1997 with an 80% occupancy level
and a troubled financial history. Since then, Brian
and CRMS have over seen the implementation of program
and staff development to increase occupancy to 97%
with strong financial stability. In 2007 we completed
a 2.4 million dollar renovation and addition to Golden
Pond dramatically improving curb appeal and creating
some valuable space. Inglenook at Brighton has also
undergone some dramatic improvements. In 2006 a complete
overhaul of the fire and life safety equipment resulted
in the addition of 40 units of assisted living.

an Assisted Living program, which today is very successful.
Before working at Glenwood he oversaw a portfolio
of distressed office and apartments complexes.
