What care is River Glen of St. Charles licensed to provide in St. Charles?

IDPH licenses River Glen of St. Charles for 78 assisted living units: 63 regular assisted living units, 15 Alzheimer's/dementia special care units. About 19% of the licensed units are dedicated to Alzheimer's care, so dementia support is one part of a mostly assisted living program.

Illinois licenses assisted living by living unit rather than by bed. An Alzheimer unit belongs to a special care program for people with Alzheimer's disease or a related dementia, which the Assisted Living and Shared Housing Act (210 ILCS 9) and 77 Ill. Adm. Code 295 hold to added staffing, training and environment requirements.

Who operates River Glen of St. Charles, and has ownership changed?

River Glen of St. Charles is operated by River Glen of St. Charles TRS LLC, and IDPH records show a change of ownership at this address: the earlier licensed entity (River Glen of St. Charles) is now marked “Inactive – CHOW.” The current licensee's first license period in the IDPH system began August 7, 2026.

An ownership change doesn't by itself mean care changed, but ask what stayed the same — administrator, nursing lead, pricing and residency agreement terms — and what the new operator changed.
