Affordable Housing for Seniors

Discover Your Ideal Senior Living

For over two decades, Carefree has proudly created and managed multiple senior living communities across the Chicagoland area. Each community is thoughtfully located within walking distance of shopping centers, grocery stores, pharmacies, and public transit, ensuring convenience is always close to home. Many of the communities also feature on-site home health care agencies, with dedicated professionals who coordinate wellness activities and therapy.

At Carefree, we believe that community is more than just a place — it’s about connection. That’s why we’re dedicated to creating spaces where residents can build meaningful friendships and feel a true sense of belonging. From organized social events and group activities to shared spaces like game rooms, libraries, and dining areas, there are endless opportunities to engage with neighbors, foster new relationships, and create lasting memories.

Our thoughtfully designed apartments offer well-equipped kitchens, generous closet space, vinyl wood flooring, and abundant natural light to create a warm and inviting living space. Many units also feature spacious balconies, perfect for enjoying the outdoors. Beyond the apartments, Carefree communities offer a range of amenities, including onsite laundry rooms, weekly continental breakfasts, exercise facilities, ample parking, and on-site management.

We’d love the opportunity to show you all that our communities have to offer. Get in touch with us today — we look forward to hearing from you!

Life on our properties

Living at Poplar Creek Village has been a wonderful experience! From visiting in the morning in the community room, this friendly community makes it easy to make new friends, and the staff is very helpful and caring.

The landscape, the terrace to enjoy the outdoors, and the fun activities we have, like yoga classes and game nights. There’s always something exciting to do!

The atmosphere is calm and safe, which allows me to relax and enjoy my time. I feel secure knowing that assistance is just a call away if I need it.

Overall, Poplar Creek has become a fantastic home for me, filled with joy, friendships, and a real sense of community. I couldn’t be happier!

Since moving to Poplar Creek Village at the beginning of 2024, I can truly say I love it here! The people living here are so friendly and welcoming. I enjoy my new friends at many activities, including games, exercise groups, and religious services. The management is always attentive to our concerns. They have kept our environment clean, well-maintained, and safe. I am happy to call Poplar Creek Village my home.
