Review for Gateway at River City

A good place to live. I came from living independently to here so there are a lot of changes and compromises for me, but so far I love it here. For my needs this place works great for me. It's not perfect but it's damn close IMO!

Don't send "mom" there

Bad to very bad: Food (Skimpy and sometimes not edible) Wait Staff (Rudest ever encountered) Many CNA's (A few nice ones) Diet (No special diets there, high fat and sugar) Therapy (Advertised but never saw) Bed Bugs (Always infested) Felons (They allow criminals grand theft auto and stealing from other residents and staff)

I you require a special diet or are a non smoker look elsewhere

If you require a special diet such as low sodium or diabetic diet don't bother Gateway at River City does not provide such diets. Another thing if you are a nonsmoker you have no rights either smokers ignore the state of IL smoke-free IL laws and smoke outside of all 4 doors without the staff or administration doing anything about it. They have it listed in the lease that the only authorized smoking area for the residents is out back of the dining room however they ignore the IL law and their own rental lease. The administration is pretty much useless at even enforcing their own rules for the residents.
