Langdon Place of Dover has a three-storey building set in a quiet rural location with lots of woods and wildlife, and the facility allows residents to have pets like cats and dogs, which is nice for folks who want to keep a companion. The community takes Medicaid with full coverage and offers several types of care, including independent living, assisted living, skilled nursing, short-term rehab after a hospital stay, and a dedicated memory care building for people with dementia or Alzheimer's. Residents get help with daily activities like bathing and dressing, and the staff offers 24/7 nursing care, help managing medications, and services like colostomy care, pain management, dialysis, ventilator care, and wound care. The place has onsite therapy, such as physical, occupational, and speech therapy, and people in rehab have access to a gym, a luxurious spa shower, and a heated indoor pool.
The memory care program includes specialized "Memory Support" suites in a secure part of the community with alarms and enclosed courtyards to keep people safe, and all staff get dementia care training so they know how to look after people who might wander, act out, or show difficult behaviors. There are private and semi-private rooms, and the largest apartments in the Seacoast area, plenty with full kitchens, private bathrooms, and exterior windows that let in natural light, and there's a choice between furnished or unfurnished spaces. Kitchenettes come in some units, and the building's equipped with Wi-Fi, cable TV, and phone access.
Meals are prepared by chefs and can be eaten in a restaurant-style dining room or even in a private one for special occasions, with options for guest meals and special diets like gluten-free, diabetic, vegan, kosher, and low sodium if someone needs those. Housekeeping and linen services are included, and there's laundry and even dry cleaning, so residents don't have to worry about that, while nurses and trained aides follow up on medical needs, deal with medication, and can also help folks who need more advanced assistance, like insulin injections, mechanical lifts, or non-ambulatory transfers.
Langdon Place of Dover offers transportation, both complimentary and at cost, to things like shopping trips, restaurant visits, and outings to local events, and there's resident parking too. The community has a wide range of everyday activities, both inside and out-devotional services, Tai Chi, stretching, yoga, art and gardening classes, trivia, Wii bowling, swimming, brain fitness, wine tastings, and trips out and about-and they've got a full activities team planning these things. Common areas include a small library, a beauty salon, gaming room, lounges, fireplaces, a fitness room, outdoor walking paths, a garden, patios, and raised gardening beds for those who like to putter outside. There are computer and activity rooms, a barber shop, a heated indoor pool and hot tub, and accessible features like full tubs, spa showers, and wheelchair-friendly bathrooms.
The staff includes medical directors, physicians, and nurse practitioners who are always on-call, and the place has won the AHCA Bronze Quality Award and participates in the WE HONOR VETERANS program at Tier 4, which is good for anyone who has served. They aim for a home-like setting and focus on personalized, compassionate care for everyone, including offering behavioral care for those who need it. There are options for short-term respite care-hourly, daily, or weekly-and the facility also has features like wandering alert systems and secure entrances to keep folks safe. The community sponsors both internal events and group trips so residents can stay social and engaged, and it's set up for people at different levels of need, from those who want to stay independent to those who need heavy care. Special programs for memory support help reduce confusion and wandering for people with Alzheimer's or similar conditions, and the overall approach is to keep people active, safe, and as comfortable as possible in a friendly, homey environment.
