Senior Commons at Powder Mill

I got an in depth tour of this facility and what an impressive place! So many activities, friendly residents and great food options. Caring staff as well with services outside of medical inside the facility. Can’t recommend enough. They also accept long term care insurance!

My aunt [name removed] was living in her own home prior to going to senior commons. She needed more help daily especially with her medications. The family worried about her. She moved in about a year ago and has made so many friends with staff and residents. She likes the food and loves to socialize with everyone! She often goes out on local trips to the markets and stores. She has needed extra care from time to time and we feel She is always in good hands there. The staff is amazing!

Some of the staff show they care. There are some many activities so residents don't just sit in their rooms. Based on the experience we have had so far, we would recommend this community to other families

They went the extra mile to try and find a place I would be happy with. The places they found for me were very nice very and suited my needs. As soon as I am ready I will contact them again . I highly recomend them

I would give it all a 5. We really like it there. The building itself is not very inviting looking but I decided to check it out because you guys recommended it. So I went with an open mind. The inside is completely different than the outside. The people are great, it is very clean and very welcoming. I would definitely recommend it.

Both wife and mother are Senior Commons residents. Lifestyle changes that attend having loved ones in a managed care environment require huge amounts of understanding, knowledge, sensitivity on both family and provider. Senior Commons' staff and management also brought experience and a resident-focused environment into the equation of how best to accommodate and impress the resident--ultimately the most important beneficiary on all care and required support. . Selecting a new "home" for loved ones was an involved and dauting task. After researching and visiting numerous care facilities and selecting Senior Commons, the facility and its personnel continually impressed our family as having the staff and management professional temperament and client focus that such an undertaking demands.

Mom and dad have been residing at Senior Commons at Powder Mill for over six months and the experience has been very positive. They both enjoy being there and feel at home. The staff is courteous, friendly, caring and helpful. Highly recommended!

My 87 year old grandmother recently moved in to Senior Commons at Powder Mill. She loves her new little "apartment". The staff at Senior Commons have been so helpful for us. They were patient and kind as we navigated getting my grandmother into her new home.

Our first tour of Senior Commons was very welcoming, and informative. We were greeted by a chalkboard sign on the patio with our names which was a nice touch. Our mom felt immediately welcomed, and it became easy for her to decide to become a resident. She has been there for over a year now, and appears to be satisfied with most everything, although she tends to complain at times about the food. She is active with bingo, crafts, and group events. The staff is always professional, helpful, and friendly.

I had to place my grandmother in an assisted living facility unexpectedly and quickly. It was actually to be both my grandparents coming but something changed and it was just her. [name removed] and [name removed] were so kind, helpful, compassionate and caring through the process. They have been a great support and help. The staff and residents are like family/friends. The place is clean and lots of activities scheduled daily. I toured many facilities in York and this was the one. I knew it when I stepped in and met [name removed] and [name removed] and the rest of the staff. I am truly happy with my decision and am very grateful for Senior Commons at Powder Mill.

Dad was very surprised & comfortable right away. Everyone called him by name and invited him to join their activities. His meals are wonderful. The staff takes great care of Dad and we can worry less about him. He is getting more exercise in a week than he got at home in a year. This was the best choice for him!

Senior Commons is clean, with friendly staff and scheduled activities. The food is good and my mom seems to enjoy Senior Commons. The staff keep in contact if they have any questions or concerns. I feely mom is taken care of and I don't have to worry while I'm not there visiting.

My dad was there for about 8 months but is now deceased. He really did like it there, though, and thought the staff was friendly and helpful They plan so many activities, including field trips, so this aspect is outstanding. Everyone seemed to like the food. The only negative is that sometimes staff is rushed/ short on time (possibly short staffed?) so unable to dedicate time to patients

Independent living is fine, a little pricey considering the food is not good, but mom's apartment is nice and she has made some friends. But she will never stay there beyond independent living.

Staff is so friendly. You walk down the halls and everyone knows the residents by name and always says hi. Nurses are helpful and easy to talk to . Everyone there is just so friendly and helpful.

I'm a muralist who had the chance to work in their memory care unit for almost a month. I witnessed several staff members' relationships to the residents over the course of different shifts and holiday events. All I can say is it seemed the employees truly cared about the residents. They seemed engaged in their stories, always willing to accommodate their needs, and deesculate any panic the memory loss may have been causing. I even heard one employee tell me he "loves his job there, it's never the same from day to day." On the other end I spoke with several residents, and made friends with one in particular that told me she was "proud the facility was investing in the arts to give everyone who lives there something to look forward to." In addition, I often saw the staff organizing things for the residents to do involving music, movement, and even getting out of the facility on trips. Loved ones suffering memory loss can be scary, it seems they are in good hands at this facility.

I would give Senior Commons at Powder Mill a 5 in all categories. They are taking very good care of my mom thus far. 1. The price is reasonable for enhanced memory care at $[removed]per month. 2. The facility, having been refurbished, looks new on the inside and is clean. 3. The facility appears to be well-staffed and the care is very good. 4. I've eaten lunch with my mom twice there and the food is very good. Housekeeping and laundry service is very good. 6. The administrative staff seems to be very caring and flexible.

My mother moved into Senior Commons at Powder Mill in March of 2022 for a time frame to recover from a small stroke. She wanted to return home and try one last time in November of 2022. In February of 2023 she fell at home and broke her arm and had to return. We actually live in Maryland and brought her to Senior Commons at the recommendation of a friend. The cost was much less than what we would pay in Maryland and the drive was manageable. Our experience was wonderful. The staff were so kind and took such good care of her every need. My mother could be very difficult and hard to really get to know, but the staff there truly took the time to care about her. They allowed her to make her choices and had great patience with her always. She had to go on Hospice and passed near Thanksgiving. The entire team was truly amazing during this time, communicated with us ongoing and held her hand when we couldn't. we will forever be thankful.

My 92 year old mother has been residing in Senior Commons since March 2023. I've waited awhile to write this review to make sure I felt the same way after after 9 months. I'm happy to say that the staff who work here are caring, friendly, and supportive to both the residents and families. This includes everyone from the dining room, front office, CPN's, maintenance, and activities directors. Everyone calls the residents by name as they greet them throughout the building! The Executive Director and Assistant Executive Director are available to assist with any concerns, offer advice, and work with the team to problem solve any issues that arise. They are very knowledgeable about the population and are very willing to work with the family and the resident. There have been several situations where my mother needed emergency care. The staff communicate every incident to the family in a timely manor. Senior Commons has exceeded my expectations in all categories!

My son did the leg work to get a list of of all Assistant living places. My wife at that time had problem walking. So I was elected to review the one that was picked. Which was Senior Commons. My impression of the place was all the personnel where very friendly and very cheerful. Everything looked clean and well taken care of. The Lady that showed us around ( I do not remember her name- very pretty) I was very pleased we what I saw and pleased of all the help we got. This is also after one year here.
