River Glen of St. Charles is a senior living community offering independent and assisted living, as well as memory care. Many reviews highlight the facility's welcoming atmosphere, beautiful apartments, and caring staff, who are praised for their professionalism and dedication to residents' well-being. The community offers a variety of activities and amenities, including screened-in porches, walking paths, and a dining room with flexible meal options. Several reviewers appreciate the sense of community and the support provided to residents and their families. However, recent ownership changes have sparked significant criticism. The new management, Jaybird Senior Living, has been accused of drastically increasing fees, leading to financial strain for many residents. This has resulted in negative feedback regarding perceived corporate greed and the impact on residents' lives. Some reviews mention issues with communication and care quality, particularly in the memory care unit, and concerns about the cleanliness of the facility. Despite these challenges, many residents and their families continue to express satisfaction with the care and environment at River Glen. The staff's efforts to maintain a safe and engaging environment during the COVID-19 pandemic have been particularly noted. Overall, while River Glen has been a positive experience for many, recent changes have led to mixed reviews, with financial concerns being a significant point of contention.

River Glen is everything and more than one should expect from a senior assisted living facility. Unlike the new modern institutional like facilities that exist only for the money not the welfare of the senior, River Glen cares about each individual. It's smaller, and home like atmosphere and staff along with an individual plan creates a better environment for the senior. I brought a senior brother from a large, assisted living facility in Colorado to River Glen and the difference in individual care was like night and day. The staff understood the needs of my brother from day one. With a smooth transition from admissions to a set program and professional staff of OT and PT made my brother feel that the staff really cares about his welfare. I would highly recommend River Glen to anyone needing a caring assisted living facility not an institution.
