I couldn't leave any comment until I chose a 4 star rating. When I went to pick a display name, it kept showing that the name had already been used for a comment.
I'm a family member who transferred a family member into the rehab area. There is not enough staff and patients wait a long time to get a "call button" request answered. The staff is all very pleasant but not enough people to provide for patient needs. It's a great choice if you can have a family member there every day for awhile to help out with your loved one's care.

Langdon Place of Dover's atmosphere is very nice. They have a lot of facilities and they offer good medical care. The staff is very nice. They have a pool, a jacuzzi, a gym, a library, and they have full nursing care with their own machines, so if anyone needs an EKG or something like that they dont have to send them off to the emergency room, which is a good thing.

Everything at Langdon Place of Dover was designed to make people feel comfortable and feel at home, but we were not shown anything that equaled the care that my mom needs. The facilities and the activities were nice. They have a pool and a general area where people meet for games, crafts, or music. They offer transportation to various activities in the community. They have a weight room, gym room, physical activity room, hair salon, and physical therapy. Laundry services are not provided on-site, which was kind of a surprise to me. We only met with the director. They also showed us apartments where people could be pretty much independent.

Langdon Place was too large and had too many elevators that dad did not like it at all. The staff wasn’t available when you needed them, there weren’t many around, and I think they were understaffed. The dining room was large, the bedroom was small, and the hallways were very large and dark. It’s a gloomy place.

My mother-in-law is in Langdon Place. She and her son live there. It’s very nice; it’s clean. The residents seem happy. They have a 2-bedroom, 2-bathroom, and living room accommodation which is very nice and very spacious. We had several lunches there, and the food was very good. The caretakers are very friendly and attentive. I think it’s a good facility for her.
There are numerous things that are available to them. I know they had a Halloween party, and they’re going to have a Thanksgiving dinner. They have exercise and activities to challenge their minds. They also take them to local stores or businesses.

The Langdon Place of Dover is where I am now. It is a large place, I've got some friends here, and there are some good staff people, but I have to leave because of money. I can't live here forever because they don't accept Medicaid, and eventually I will need Medicaid. The food is good although some people think it could be better. I think it would be better if they knew more about Parkinson's. They do have activities like trivia where volunteers come in and ask questions, they have exercise classes, and they have a pool.

The staff in the solana are excellent with the alzheimers patients, of which my grandmother occasionally is. They are very accomodating with respite care for her about once every two months, as we are trying to slowly acclimate her to facility to make an easy transition. The staff all know her by name, and treat her like she is one of the family there and include her in everything they do. They also hold Alzheimers caregiver support groups once a month where people can come share about their experiences and give tips about what they find works well with handling the disease.
