overall a great community
Every staff member we encountered was professional, kind, caring, and helpful. There were plenty of fun activities to participate in as wanted, and my mom ended up enjoying lots of different things. The staff was good about encouraging her to be social which was helpful too. She felt at home and well cared for while she was there.

We are in a townhouse that is perfect for our needs. We both love all the green space. The staff are wonderful and they are always growing activities based on interest.

It is a very nice community- not too large and all friendly. Yes, we would recommend River Glen of St. Charles to other families based on the experience we have had so far.

It has been a really good experience. They have good intentions to help keep my parents together. They try to make sure their goals and my parents goals are the same. I am not sure any other place would do this. It was hard to find assisted living for both parents. Most people only have one parent to find care for. I am very happy with my choice.

Everyone we encountered there was incredibly helpful, kind, compassionate, caring, patient, etc. My mom was there on a respite basis, and the staff was welcoming and also did all they could to help her regain her independence. It was a difficult time for her, and we all could not have been more pleased with our experience there.

The care. My Mom is comfortable and happy. Can't ask for more. She turned 97 in February, and is declining. She probably is going to need a greater level of nursing care soon. But for now she is in a good place.

It has been smooth sailing from the beginning. [name removed] has settled in nicely and has made many friends. She brought way too much stuff but RG has been very patient while my other sister and I have tried to whittle down her possessions. The food has been marvelous and apparently all the other guests are clamoring to sit with her. As spring approaches I am sure she will enjoy being outside.

We love how our Mom has so easily acclimated herself to her new home, thanks in no small part to how caring and warm the nurses, staff, kitchen folks and others are to her. Our only real concern is the regime River Glen uses for getting and distributing medications. The process seems confusing, wonky and a little too bureaucratic.

Our family had an in person tour and we loved this community, it was our loved ones first tour and everything was fantastic. However for our loved one it was just an older architectural style with more wood grain work so it just did not feel very bright

River Glen of St. Charles is a smaller facility than some of the other new high rise ones making it easier to maneuver around. Also they have a nice outdoor environment that's pretty and serene.

You have to be there constantly for your person and be their advocate. You have to make sure they're not getting shoved to the side and that their rights are being upheld. It's all great when they give you the glowing buildup of touring and moving in, but the day-to-day experience is different. There are definitely some things that I don't like, but this is by far the best facility we looked at. That being said, it's expensive, and I'm doing a lot of their work for them. I'm being charged for things they're not providing, so be watchful with billing. I just have to keep on them about everything. My loved one does not like it there, but she needs to be for her own safety.

[name removed] was warm and welcoming, as was the facility. The residents we encountered were happy and chatty. It was like being in a 5 star hotel - plenty of amenities, pleasant atmosphere and roomy apartments.

My mother has lived at River Glen in St. Charles for the past 3-1/2 years and she has always had excellent care. When the pandemic began, River Glen’s response was immediate! They have gone above and beyond CDC regulations to keep their staff and residents healthy, to attend to the emotional needs of their residents, and to keep the families of the residents informed. My mother and my family are so grateful for all the staff members at River Glen; we could never thank them enough during this difficult time in our country.

River Glen has exceeded our expectations. My Mom reluctantly moved to River Glen from her own apartment almost 4 years ago, after a head injury. She now considers RG home and feels very safe there. We both love that her apt. is cleaned every week, sheets are washed, and then put back on the bed. I do her towels & personal clothing, but RG also offers that service. I only live 10 miles away, so the back & forth is easy. I’ve made it a point to spend lots of time at RG over the past 4 years. Prior to covid19, I knew most all of the staff, many other family members, & some therapists. The staff and therapists are professional and very approachable. I’ve met so many family members at RG. It is very nice having others around who understand. Yes, RG is expensive for my Mom. My thought initially was quality or quantity. I’m so glad she agreed that RG was the right place for her. I know we made the best choice for her. So far, my Mom has needed minimal care at RG. The care she does receive has allowed me to once again be a daughter and not a caretaker. I think RG does a good job with activities, especially these days. I commend them for working so hard to keep residents interested and engaged. My Mom loves the brain games & rediscovered exercise since joining a chair exercise group at RG. Not bad at 88 to feel safe & get moving again. I feel blessed to be part of the River Glen family.

My Mom went there a year ago and it was great then. Now, not so much. Rooms are not clean and reeked of urine - housekeeping says they will take care of but not done. Front desk - [name removed] is great, but half the time no one picks up phone so you can't talk to your Mom. [name removed] is useless, he is never there, staff even jokes about it. Overall - My family loved they place a year ago, but they have gone downhill. No one looks after the pts. they are on there own and you have to remind staff all the tine to check on Mom's. We pay a fortune and not what it was year ago.

Mother fell, went to the hospital, went into rehab. After living independently in her condo for 40 years, mother agreed to try assisted living and we had 2 weeks to find something before mother was released from rehab. We hired an Elder Care Advocacy Group to guide us. There 1st choice was River Glen of St.Charles. They had the perfect unit for Mom. It reminded my sister and I of a smaller version of her condo. Mother is very happy here. She was very afraid of being alone after falling and now says: "I feel safe, well cared for, the staff is very friendly, the people who live here are friendly and nice, it is very clean." My sister and I agree with all these statements and appreciate that outside providers now come to her as opposed to us having to take her to doctor's appointments. She has been at River Glen for 2 months and talks less and less about her condo and more and more about River Glen.

When we were looking for a home for our 94 year old step mom, we analyzed and visited numerous facilities in the suburban Chicago area. River Glen looked to be far and away the best facility. Once our mom moved in, our judgement was confirmed and our expectations were exceeded. River Glen was excellent in all respects. Great food, ambience and activities. Spotlessly clean facility that feels more like a resort hotel than assisted living. The staff is excellent and appears to have low turnover rate, which, along with excellent management, are, in my opinion, key to an superior facility. Some of our needs were probably beyond what is typical, but they were accommodated with a smile. This place is so good, that if my time comes to transition to assisted living, River Glen would be my choice. [Name removed] - Roselle,Il

We moved my father here from Seattle and the worry of this his transition and all that goes along with it couldn't have been better because of the care and concern from the entire staff at River Glen. The River Glen team help us mange all of Dads medical transitions and with guidance and support. It is such a stressful and emotional moment in a family's life when you need to find the right type of care for your parent, and you want them to feel independent, supported and cared for as well. The facility is beautiful and very "homey" feeling, the food is delicious, and the staff is really fist class! We did a lot of research before selecting River Glen and the flexible month to month program is a unique offering that allowed our family to make this transition without the stress of having to sell my father’s home of 40 year in order to make the finances work. Most other programs do not offer that. Dad is getting adjusted in his lovely apartment and I feel so grateful that is down the street from me with the care and love he deserves. River Glen- thank you for making this transition so easy on our entire family.

Safety is a primary concern when seniors and their families look for Assisted Living. To ensure that a community meets your needs and expectations, we recommend that seniors and family members:
Know Illinois’s regulations for memory care. Each state has its own laws and inspection processes to ensure seniors reside in a safe environment. Depending on your state, you may even be able to look up inspection reports for the communities you’re considering. Learn more about Illinois’s regulations for memory care and download the Guide to Senior Living Licensure and Inspection Reports.
Tour the location. Touring allows you to speak to current residents and staff, and it helps you confirm the accuracy of the community description and photos. Use our touring checklist to help guide your visit.
Confirm the availability of required services. Before committing, make sure that the community offers all the services your loved one needs, and that those services can be provided within your budget.
