Va. retirement community emerges from bankruptcy

Wednesday - 10/3/2012, 10:06am  ET

DALEVILLE, Va. - A continuing care retirement community in Botetourt County is no longer in bankruptcy.

Parent company Virginia Baptist Homes says The Glebe emerged from Chapter 11 bankruptcy last week.

The Roanoke Times ( http://bit.ly/QpLjAP) says the retirement community opened in Daleville in July 2005 and filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in June 2010.

According to a bankruptcy court filing, construction delays, the recession and a weak housing market resulted in a lower-than-expected occupancy rate between 2005 and 2007.

Virginia Baptist Homes president and CEO Randall Robinson says The Glebe has emerged from bankruptcy with a stronger financial foundation.
