My friend recently had a hip replacement and had a horrible experience at Langdon Place. I will NEVER, EVER allow her (or any other person I know) to get sentenced to a stay at this place. There are patients calling out for help and nobody ever comes to see what's the matter. They call out for their medication that was supposed to be given three hours ago and nobody comes. My friend was transferred to a different room after the first night of listening to her roommate crying for help all night, and then she started threatening my friend. The second room had NO BOTTOM SHEET & nobody came to help my friend who ended up using the top sheet on the bottom (making the bed with a 4 day old hip replacement). The food was disgusting. No menu ... you get what you get. Tepid coffee & tea. Breakfast one morning was two pieces of sausage. That's it. When she complained, they gave her five more pieces! An hour later they brought her two fried eggs. Dinner one night was a large scoop of macaroni & cheese with a small scoop of undrained stewed tomatoes. The tomato juice mixed in the with the mac & cheese. Disgusting. They hide the thing to call the nurse in the drawers that the old people can't reach! When another friend went to pick up my friend who was discharged, , she couldn't find ANYBODY IN THE PLACE to let them know that she was picking her up. Anybody could have walked in there and taken any of those old people without permission. They charged $12,000 for a two night stay.

We have been here for over a year and realize what a good choice we have made being here. We are very independent in our large apartment and are fully able to care for our selves but nursing staff is based within feet of our apartment if we need them. We have made many compatible and kind friends. Staff is efficient and willing to listen! It has been more than just a good experience and we are grateful! [Name removed] and [name removed]

Back in early 2017, on the advice of our doctor and support of our children, daughter and son in law, my wife and I started to look for an independent/assisted living home. We looked at several but Langdon Place of Dover got and kept our attention. Why? THE STAFF!! An apartment is an apartment, a room is a room, etc., but the staff at Langdon Place of Dover makes this place!! If you can’t smile and have a positive attitude at all times, then you won’t work here. Why? The folks that live here!! It’s all here, medical problems, along with age. The need for a slow pace of living while at the same time someone is watching out for your welfare. Try pacifying over 100 folks at Langdon Place of Dover 24-7. It’s being done. And each and everyone here at Langdon Place of Dover has a smile on their face.
