Leading the Market at Linden Oaks: Enhancing Community Success with a Pocket Neighborhood

CEO Ken Arneson has a history of leading savvy decision-making for the growth and development of Evergreen, a senior living community in Oshkosh, Wis. He understands his suburban Wisconsin market, the needs of his residents as well as the importance of being forward-thinking.

Arneson has guided Evergreen through numerous innovative investments, such as commons space renovation projects, additions, and the construction of new market rate independent living apartments. He also keeps an eye on the greater community and finds ways to enhance ties between the senior living campus and the City of Oshkosh. The driving force behind each decision he spearheads, whether a development project or community collaboration, is how to differentiate Evergreen in the market and how to best serve the residents, staff and community.

The latest decision keeping Evergreen at the forefront is the commitment to develop a pocket neighborhood—Linden Oaks.

“As markets are changing, you have to respond to what is occurring and do it in a timely manner,” describes Arneson. “There are countless cases of businesses that choose not to change, or they didn’t change quick enough, and they are no longer here. If you see certain trends and you choose not to move, that could be something that undoes you.”
