Review for Senior Commons at Powder Mill
No one was happy at all. Their lack of care is disgusting. My mother lost 15 pounds in two weeks being there she wasn't getting fed half the time. It was noticed that this happened to other residence as well. I can't really give them any number. I'm so disgusted with the place. They'd hand her medication and leave the room that is a no-no. In other words, they will log the patient received her medication, but did they? It was noticed on the floor, a couple times and in a cup another time. She was left highly uncared for. Most of her clothes were lost in the laundry, along with brand new sheets and a bed cover. I could go on and on about the lack of concerned when these things were brought to their attention. I don't think they should ever be recommended to anyone to care for their loved ones.

We recognize that it is difficult to trust the care of someone that you love to others and we take that responsibility very seriously. We will add your comments to our Quality Assurance program as we strive to provide care and service consistently at the highest level.

Thoughtful Care with Room to Grow
Senior Commons Memory Care is a clean, well-maintained facility where housekeeping and laundry staff are consistently visible and working hard. Staff are present, attentive, and aware of residents’ needs. The activities program in the memory care unit is excellent and goes above and beyond, keeping residents active and engaged. However, there are areas needing improvement around personal grooming and hygiene. Hair care, nail trimming, and routine shaving—especially for male residents—have been inconsistent. Residents cannot keep grooming items, and soap is not allowed in their bathrooms, which places added responsibility on families who cannot visit frequently. Clearer communication and more consistent staff support for daily personal care would greatly improve residents’ comfort, dignity, and quality of life.

What was there about Senior Commons not to like? Bright, clean, cheerful, spacious and a very warm and caring atmosphere on the floor. I was given a very thorough tour by the marketing director who knew everyone’s name-staff and residents alike. Activity schedule and menu options sold me on the idea that mom would love it there!

I watched the interaction between the staff and the residents and was impressed on how well they interacted. When I walked in the main entrance, the aroma of the meals made me hungry. The events coordinator also reminds and encourages the residents to get involved with the many daily activities.

Happy to help Mom
Although Mom's stay was only nine days, they were very happy to accommodate her. She was a little lonely, but also too shy to socialize. This was new to her of course, and from her comments I am not looking forward to the time when her stay has to be permanent. Overall, I am happy they took care of her!

Mom feels at peace
She seems to be getting really good care since we moved in 4 years ago. She never misses a beat with getting her meals lol and always talks about how friendly the staff are to her. She receives medicine four times a day and since she's been in there has never had a relapse with missing any of her prescriptions. The medical staff seemed to be on top of all her needs.

Independent living at Senior Commons
I recently helped my uncle to relocate to Senior Commons at Powder Mill. It was the first place we toured and at the end of the tour he looked at me and said “we don’t need to look any farther this is where I want to be”. That pretty much sums it up. After two months of living there he is very happy with the decision we made. All the staff is very friendly and they make things as easy as possible for their residents. His apartment is a great size and has everything he could possible need. Would recommend for anyone looking for a place for a loved one.

I enjoy the outings, games, entertainment, the best view from every angle. Beautiful birds, cardinals, hulks, deer, bunny rabbits and squirrels. The food is good, with choices and the kitchen staff is kind. There is a chapel, with catholic mass, general Christian service, and communion every Friday at 9.

Tips for evaluating your community options

Safety is a primary concern when seniors and their families look for Assisted Living. To ensure that a community meets your needs and expectations, we recommend that seniors and family members:

  • Know Pennsylvania’s regulations for memory care. Each state has its own laws and inspection processes to ensure seniors reside in a safe environment. Depending on your state, you may even be able to look up inspection reports for the communities you’re considering. Learn more about Pennsylvania’s regulations for memory care and download the Guide to Senior Living Licensure and Inspection Reports.

  • Tour the location. Touring allows you to speak to current residents and staff, and it helps you confirm the accuracy of the community description and photos. Use our touring checklist to help guide your visit.

  • Confirm the availability of required services. Before committing, make sure that the community offers all the services your loved one needs, and that those services can be provided within your budget.
