Carrie Bentley
CEO/Developer & Operator
In 2007, Carrie Bentley, a seasoned real estate developer from Champaign, IL, recognized the lack of adequate quality senior living communities in central Illinois. After researching the marketplace, she discovered that today’s seniors were seeking something most existing facilities didn’t offer—an enriching lifestyle with more amenities and a home-like environment.
To meet demand, Carrie enlisted partners to develop her first community—Bridle Brook Adult Living in Mahomet, IL. The community’s success caught the attention of industry peers and forged many new relationships.
Through the years, Carrie has continued to grow her portfolio by developing, building, managing and serving other Illinois locations, including Carriage Crossing communities in Arcola, Bloomington, Champaign and Rochester, as well as Bridle Brook in Mahomet.
