Senior Commons at Powder Mill

Feb.25, 2020My family and I recently had to make a very difficult decision and place my wife of thirty three years in a care facility due to progressing complications with dementia. After several phone calls and internet searches we came across, Senior Commons at Powder Mill. After we toured the facility and asked several questions of staff members we chose Senior Commons. The first couple of months were very hard for my wife and family. You are making a decision to trust that you family member will be in good hands for all their needs. After being a resident at Senior Commons 'Memory Care' for five months now, I am at peace with the care my wife is receiving. The new director of the' Memory Care Unit' is professional and has made positive changes to improve the quality of life style for the residents and staff members. The entire facility is well maintained and the staff members are professional and pleasant.

My parent has been living at SC Memory Care for almost 3 years. We have seen many changes and issues, but since Summer 2019, new leadership has arrived and staffing has stabilized. There is a visible commitment to engaging and stimulating residents, and more Staff training on the special needs of residents with dementia. I see that the MC staff takes pride in, and ownership of, the well-being of their residents. The Directors have been responsive to my parents unique needs, and Fox Therapy has been very effective. I am Hopeful and optimistic that these positive trends will continue. Families must recognize that any elder care situation requires their active involvement and oversight.
