I have not met any resident that is not happy living there. Residents are served excellent food choices with BBQs periodically in the summer.

I especially enjoy being a chaperone to various day trips. I plan on volunteering for a very long time.

The apartments are much bigger here than the other places we visited in the area. Yes, the decor is still stuck in the 80's from when it was built, but who cares. Yes, maybe it needs new carpet in some areas but dad doesn't care. What he cares about is the good food (he'll eat anything so who knows if he's a good judge of fine dining!), the kind and attentive staff and the new friends he's made. A big perk to this place is the indoor pool which residents can use 9-11am with a supervising staff member. We didn't see indoor pools in the more expensive places and it's a real treat for the residents! Dad is a real bore about participating in the activities, but if your elderly loved one would enjoy them, they have plenty! There is no excuse to be lonely or bored at Langdon! If they're not feeling sociable at meal time, they can even have them bring the meal to their suite. We love the flexibility of how little or how much you want to participate on any given day. Take a tour of Langdon Place and see for yourself. It was just the right place for dad, hopefully for yours as well!

When my mother moved into the Gables she experienced an enhanced assisted living environment for retired individuals. From daily check-ins with staff, to full meal and bistro dining options, housekeeping, maintenance, home care aids, and transportation services the Gables truly has thought of everything you might need at some point during your residence with them. Lovely apartments with easy access to elevators and community areas, residents truly have the independence they desire along with the personal and home services they require. The Gables coordinates additional home care and nursing services with other agencies making sure residents have the care and medical supervision they may need. A lovely, well staffed dining room provides residents a community dining experience and if a resident prefers a meal in, delivery is available. Every meal provides menu options. Physical therapy is available on site as well as hairdressing and other personal services. A dedicated bus can be reserved to take residents to medical appointments in addition to transporting groups to outings, such as to a restaurant or shopping center or museum. Seasonal outings are offered including foliage rides, Holiday light viewing, and trips of all kinds in the surrounding communities. New activities such as Life Stories, Tech Support, a Blood Pressure clinic, and Flu and COVID Vaccine clinics have been added to their schedule. This alludes to what is possibly the best feature of the Gables - the plethora of fun, social activities that are available on a daily basis. Regular weekly activities include exercise programs such as chair yoga, exercise to music, strength and stretching, corn hole and bean bag toss. Residents can take advantage of challenging and brain enhancing activities include trivia, crossword, puzzles, and current events. A book group and well stocked library are available for use.

Masses and non-denominational bible study are available as well. A theater on the main floor is used for regular movie nights and other events. Monthly birthday parties and weekly happy hours are held for those who want to chill with a nice glass of wine. And last but not least the key to all the wonderful features at the Gables is their dedicated and compassionate staff, who truly make an effort each and every day to provide a welcoming and caring environment to everyone here.

He was a quite person but he met so many wonderful people residents and staff that brought him out of his shell.

When he could no longer do activities, the staff was amazing helping him to get around and keeping his spirits up! We as a family had so much support, love, and caring from the staff we felt like family.

Short staffed. They do not fix or repair problems in the unit. They "send" someone who looks and…read morethen never fixes things like broken doors or the cable. They tell you they have a good medical alert system in place and will notify you in an emergency. (Primary reason we are there.) Not so. My father fell and no one was alerted or notified. He was alone and a caregiver aid I privately hired found him on the floor with injuries. I brought this to the attention of management. No response. Nothing. No follow up. Just a blank stare. So, don't expect anything in terms of emergency. Residents are in their own. Meals are rigid. No flexibility whatsoever. The meal system is difficult if you don't want to race to a meal 30 minutes early then wait for an hour and a half, then, you are out of luck. Unless, you want to fill their forms out 3 times per day for every meal. Just a ridiculous system. Yet, you pay for it. Billing is terrible. No statements. They don't explain charges and they don't correct charges. They overbill. They sell you on the monthly charges and claim it's month to month. They rush you through a lease with errors. Then you find out it's a 3 month minimum and an additional 30 day notice. They don't disclose this at the outset. They state it's month to month. Just terrible business practices. Very false advertising and misleading. If you object or complain, they just ignore you. I'd be careful staying here. I think, they are dishonest.
