Sadly my Mum was only able to enjoy her time at Grace Manor briefly but she loved her room, which overlooked the front garden, for a relatively short time before she passed away. However, in that brief time we found all of the team at Grace Manor to be very welcoming, helpful, caring and efficient and
when my brother and sister-in-law visited Mum at Grace Manor they came away feeling very positive and commented that it was the happiest that they had seen her for several years. We have no hesitation in recommending Grace Manor.

Nurses and staff at Poplars are very good & kind to my sister, who has severe communication difficulties. She is non verbal and now non mobile, hoisting, wheelchair and all her personal care. They have a good understanding of her needs and vulnerabilities. I am pleased with the continuity of her carers
- she recognises their familiar faces. The home is always clean & smells nice, and there are cheerful decorations up. I am very satisfied with the care and safety here.

The home is in a good location with sufficient parking. The rooms are comfortable and clean, and the staff are friendly and caring. My mum has settled in well and her health has increased since she moved in, in May of this year. I'm confident that she is safe and well cared for, and all of her needs
are met.

This care home is absolutely amazing. My mum had given up and was very reluctant to integrate with other residents. She was admitted with extreme open leg wounds that hadn't shown signs of healing whilst she had spent 2 months in hospital. On arrival her wounds were inspected/swabbed only to find
both legs were infected. The nurse, who is the most awesome nurse, set a treatment plan deciding what bandages, how often to change them and her knowledgeable and positivity was very reassuring. She also spent hours getting mums feet back to good health due to shedding skin after being neglected in hospital. She has been an extraordinary influence on my mums physical and mental recovery which has been nothing short of a miracle. EVERY member of staff has contributed to improving her wellbeing with their genuine love, care and patience. Mums legs are healing, she is now enjoying good times in the lounge with the other residents. Thank you to all you precious angels at Poplars.

This is the 1st encounter of a care home I have had so I was not sure what to expect. It became clear from early on that the staff make the home. There has been a low turnover of the care flow which is wonderful. The continuity for both my mother who has dementia and for me and my family cannot be underestimated
. The home has a strong leadership flow and continue to make improvements.

We found the staff were (are) all so helpful and also cheerful. Very polite, it is a pleasure to see them all, knowing they give their all 100% in sometimes difficult circumstances. I would certainly recommend The Poplars Care Home and if I am unfortunate enough to need care I hope I would find a home
like this.

Mum has been very well looked after since she has resided at The Poplars. The care staff really do care and support staff are very friendly and helpful as well. The food is plentiful & nicely presented even though mum has to have hers pureed. Mum's clothes are always clean and she herself is kept clean
too. Health & safety rules are always followed & people come in regularly to check on mum's well-being. I have no complaints whatsoever on the care mum receives.
