    Welcoming active community with caveats

    I live at The Gatesworth and I've been very pleased - welcoming, active, cruise-ship-like community with beautiful grounds, spacious apartments, outstanding food and tons of activities. Staff are mostly kind, professional and attentive; amenities (pool, theater, fitness, dining) make daily life social and full. It's expensive and not perfect - expect occasional issues (pill management/cleanliness lapses, some rude or high-turnover staff, spotty family communication and delivery delays) and COVID rules were strict but understandable. Overall I feel lucky and would recommend visiting and asking detailed questions about care and operations before deciding.

    About The Gatesworth

    The Gatesworth is a senior living community in St. Louis that's been locally owned and operated for over 35 years and is associated with GateCo Development. It's recognized as a top independent living community by U.S. News & World Report several years in a row. The Gatesworth offers several living options, including Independent Living, Assisted Living, Memory Care, and Skilled Nursing, all set up in a Continuing Care Retirement Community (CCRC) structure. There are also services linked with facilities like Peace Villa Senior Living, and support comes in many forms, from Adult Day Club, scheduled care for a few hours or days, to In-Home Services for seniors who want to remain in their own homes, and Respite Care for short-term help or while recovering.

    Residents have access to personalized help with daily living tasks, skilled nursing, and support for those with Alzheimer's disease or other memory conditions. McKnight Place, part of the campus, provides amenities and extra services, with licensed nurses on-site at all hours. There are programs designed for many needs, including adult day care, non-medical home companionship, therapy, wellness, and even long-term or rehabilitation care.

    The Gatesworth stands on 320,404 square feet and has 219 units with many layouts, such as move-in-ready one-bedroom to three-bedroom deluxe apartments, all with patios or balconies, and each can be customized. These apartments are spacious and designed for accessibility, with features like bath tubs, wheelchair-accessible showers, and pet-friendly options, so cats and dogs are welcome. There's a 115-car underground parking garage, and the building itself is four stories tall with luxury finishes.

    Inside, you'll find a library, a billiard room, a 100-seat theater, three restaurants, a commercial kitchen, and plenty of indoor and outdoor common areas for relaxation and social activities. The grounds are beautifully landscaped and are meant for enjoyment and taking in fresh air, and there's also a full schedule of events like recreational, physical, and mental activities to keep everyone engaged and involved. The Gatesworth has chef-prepared meals-nutritious and tailored for dietary needs, including vegetarian options-and meal service is included, as well as amenities like transportation at a cost or complimentary rides, depending on need.

    Extra care is there for those who need higher levels of support, whether for chronic conditions, diabetic or incontinence care, or memory issues, plus a dedicated medical care staff ready to help those with cognitive conditions. Staff stay focused on creating a great environment with a philosophy that supports independence and a yes-minded attitude that welcomes requests and tries to help where possible. For those who want to know more about daily life, a digital magazine, the scene @ The Gatesworth, shares stories about community living.

    The Gatesworth serves people who want a hassle-free, active, and social lifestyle as well as those looking for extra help as they age, and its combination of services, care options, pet policy, activities, luxury setting, and long-standing record in the St. Louis community sets it apart from many other senior living options.
