The Gatesworth at One McKnight Place offers competitive pricing for its residents when compared to the broader market in St. Louis County and the state of Missouri. For a one-bedroom suite, the monthly fee is $3,700, which is notably more affordable than the county average of $4,226 and aligns closely with the state average of $3,349. Meanwhile, for those seeking two-bedroom accommodations, The Gatesworth's cost of $5,200 stands higher than both the county's average of $4,658 and Missouri's average rate of $3,675.

Overall Review of The Gatesworth at One McKnight Place

common 34 reviews mention this

Staff are consistently described as helpful

Residents and families repeatedly describe the staff as kind, responsive, and easy to work with.

Across many reviews, families describe staff as friendly, courteous, and helpful—especially during tours and during day-to-day questions and requests. Several reviewers also single out responsiveness and communication, saying interactions have been outstanding and service comes quickly. A smaller set of reviews expresses the opposite experience, with complaints about rudeness, turnover, and inconsistent care, but those views are clearly the minority compared with the overall tone.

common 13 reviews mention this

Dining quality stands out in reviews

Dining is frequently praised, with residents describing food as very good and restaurant-like.

Food comes up again and again, with reviewers describing meals as good, fabulous, delicious, and satisfying. Several comments connect dining to the overall experience, noting both everyday meals and special lunches served during visits. On the pricing side, one review criticizes being charged for meals, but that is not echoed in the many positive food comments.

common 10 reviews mention this

Activities and entertainment keep residents engaged

Residents describe a steady mix of activities and entertainment.

Many reviewers describe varied activities and regular entertainment, framing it as a key part of life at the community. Some mention opportunities to get involved, including resident engagement and events that guests or families can participate in. A separate theme in reviews is the “relaxed atmosphere,†which is described by some as a positive adjustment rather than an issue.

caveat 2 reviews mention this

Care concerns show up in a few reviews

A small number of reviews raise serious concerns about care quality.

While most reviews focus positively on staff and support, a couple of reviews report problems with care, including concerns about being overly medicated or sedated and worries about basic care and training. Those reviews also describe outcomes that left the family dissatisfied, and one suggests the facility was more focused on revenue than resident well-being. Because these are limited to a small number of reviewers, the feedback is mixed rather than universal.

caveat 3 reviews mention this

Costs feel high for some families

A few reviews question whether the pricing matches the experience.

Several critiques center on cost, with reviewers describing the facility as expensive and questioning the value received. One review also complains about additional charges on top of monthly rent, and another points to disappointment with overall worth. At the same time, other reviewers say they found the move financially workable and highlight the overall experience—so the pricing feedback is not consistent across the review set.
