Thanks for visiting Senior Commons at Powder Mill. We work very hard to create a welcoming environment for our residents, families and guests and your comments about the décor, cleanliness and food are much appreciated! I was surprised by your perception that the apartments are small. Our Independent apartments are larger than most of the communities in the York area and the Personal Care apartments are definitely comparable. Maybe we were the first place you saw??? Most importantly, I wanted to take the opportunity to correct your impression about activities. In addition to a full Activity Calendar, Senior Commons has partnered with FOX therapy to provide a Wellness Program to our residents. This program boasts over 21 programs weekly and includes walking clubs of various levels, a brain fitness program, and much, much more. My guess is that the residents that you saw playing cards were just neighbors enjoying each others’ company, nothing that was formally organized by Senior Commons. I encourage you to contact us to learn more about FOX Optimal Living and get a copy of our Activity Calendar.

We are terribly sorry that your Mom’s experience at Senior Commons at Powder Mill wasn’t positive. We are dedicated to helping residents and their families make a smooth transition into our care ~ which was the reason for the personal aide. Our nurses and caregivers do receive specialized training on Alzheimer’s and dementia. However, no two residents are alike and the manifestations of the disease are different for every person. We have many residents who are in the early stages of the disease ~ residents who wander, who like your Mom, like to be “busy.” We also have residents who have aged-in-place and remain at Senior Commons as their disease progresses. We will add your comments to our Quality Improvement program so that they become part of our discussion on how we can continue to strive to provide the best possible care

Thank you for taking the time to review Senior Commons. Despite our best efforts to meet residents’ needs, there are times when some residents require a level of care and services that we can not provide. I am sorry that you felt that your mother was ‘kicked out.’ We always make every effort to allow residents to age in place ~ including transporting residents to a larger shower so that they can get the assistance that they need. Please feel free to contact Senior Commons directly if there were specific staff that were not ‘nice.’ We expect our employees to treat residents as if they were family and if there are specific complaints, we would definitely want to address them.

Thank you for visiting Senior Commons at Powder Mill. We appreciate your comments about the community and team. However, we are disappointed that you didn’t leave with an understanding of the value we strive to offer ~ especially because of our unique FOX Optimal Living program. A new Activities Director started in December ~ and we are excited by the changes she is making to our calendar and programming. Our goal is to create a warm, friendly and inviting home for our residents. If you haven’t already selected a community for mom, I hope you’ll schedule a second visit and come see us again!
