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

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.

My Aunt is so much happier
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!

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.

Focused, efficient, sensitive and effective resident care
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.

Welcoming, friendly place!
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!

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:

  • Tour the location: Touring allows you to speak to current residents and staff, and 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 you commit, make sure that the community offers all the services your senior needs, and that those services can be provided within your budget.

  • Know the Pennsylvania regulations for Assisted Living: Each state has its own laws and inspections 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 community(ies) you’re considering. Learn more about Pennsylvania regulations for Assisted Living.
