Langdon Place of Dover

Reviewer RC#1026

Langdon Place of Dover seemed older but the apartment was very nice. I only met the woman who did the intakes and she was excellent. She was great.

Rooms are dirty and outdated. Staff is hot or miss- major issues with staff following through with what my mother needed done. Spoke to doctor and nurse practitioner numerous times and was assured nurses would change bandages and follow thru with other regular duties. Come night time the nurses refused and make excuses why they couldn’t help my mother. I do not recommend this facility at all

My impression of Langdon Place of Dover was very positive on everything. They have almost a restaurant-like setup for eating and that's very nice. They have a chef and there are choices of meals you can have. So, it's not like they have one pot and serve everybody from that. I was just very impressed by the staff that I spoke with. There was a menu posted on a whiteboard in front of the entrance to the dining room, and there were several choices. They answered all my questions and they knew what they were talking about. I think I'm going to try to get my friend in there.

I got a call from the director of Langdon Place of Dover who said that there was a bed available and if we wanted to come down and look at it. So, she was just on the ball and I thought that was great, because we had to get Dad out of the place he was in. The head nurse does well and everybody's been doing well with the memory care residents. They have done what I've requested of them and I just love the head nurse. She's been very helpful with Dad and even makes suggestions. One of the things I like about their activities is my dad is a Marine veteran and once a month, they have a group that meets and talks about whatever they want to do. They put stars up from different people and what service they were in. I just thought that it was great that they're recognizing that.

I'm living in Langdon Place of Dover right now. I've been here for rehab, and for the most part it's been very, very good. The care from the girls is good. They're a very caring staff. The food is, for the most part, very good. They have a great OT and PT staff. The LNAs are, for the most part, very, very good. You always have the one that you don't get along with, but the nurses are excellent, and the social worker is superb. She's very good with her job, and she's very caring. I can't always get in touch with her when I need her, but she's busy, and I realize that. The main person that admits people is very accessible and I've been able to talk to her. In fact, she called my husband before I even came here, and told him this is where I was coming, and if I needed anything to give her a call. It's kind of laid that groundwork, and that was very good, and that made things very easy. One day, the head cook and the social worker came into my room and wanted to know what was good, what was bad, what was ugly. They wanted to know what they were doing right and what they were doing wrong. I told them, and they were very glad. I was very open about what I felt about what they were doing because there were a few things that we tweaked on the menu, and I let them know, and they tweaked them. There were a few things on the menu that I said, "Why do you put this and this together?" and they went, "Oh, you're right, why do we do that?" I have Crohn's, and every Sunday night they put a salad on my tray, and every Sunday night I send it back saying, "I told you no salad," and it's right on my ticket: no salads. There are those little things that still need to be tweaked. I'm in a two-person room, it's nice, and airy, and it's got windows. We both have windows right beside our beds, with a little hall that goes out to the main hallway, one bathroom, the showers are down the hall, and we each have a closet. It's nice, and bright, and painted yellow. We each have a TV.

We are talking to Langdon Place of Dover about putting a deposit down for my mother. She needs to get her Covid vaccine before she goes in there. My mom chose it because it felt very homey and she felt very comfortable there. They were running their vaccine the day we visited and we had to be screened pretty heavily. We didn't really go everywhere in the place. We could only go see the room and wherever people weren't. It was a very short Covid friendly tour. The room was beautiful, gorgeous and spacious. We couldn't meet everybody, but whoever we met was very nice, and my mother definitely loved them. As far as location, it's near the highway and it's convenient.
