Extra Care Housing Owned by Sanctuary Retirement Communities

Coming to live at Middleton House was the best thing I've ever done - it totally changed my life. I can't speak highly enough of the staff. We have a wide range of residents here from all walks of life which makes it a very interesting place to live. We have a restaurant which is always trying to do better and better. We have enjoyable activities and talks and events - no reason to be bored. The apartments are just the right size. I love it here!

The team have given her a new life. My mum loves the foyer, the garden, the activities. This is the reason we could only tick excellent in every box. The team at Jazz Court work very, very hard to give an excellent experience.

As a wheelchair user who also navigates autism and dystonia, I found this venue highly accommodating. The physical accessibility for my wheelchair was excellent, making it easy to enter and maneuver. Additionally, the environment was calm, and the staff demonstrated a wonderful level of patience, awareness, and understanding toward my sensory and physical needs. It is incredibly reassuring to visit a place that makes disability access a smooth and stress-free experience. Highly recommended!

I would recommend Poplar to anyone

Only downside is that the food in the restaurant is not as good as it used to be.

I enjoy living at Trellis House

Once again, we are deeply grateful for everything you did to make this special occasion such a wonderful & special event.

Dunboyne Court is located at Torquay and has a Very Friendly Community and is one of my favourite About Dunboyne Court we trust the Staff here especially even When we need a hug from the Staff team we all need Someone who can we talk about things that are not in in our lives at all in our lives but we all need Someone who understands what we go through to get there

Breathe you're going to be Okay you've gotten through So many things In your life

Our experience at Middleton House has been mixed although the overall experience is good. We have put 'satisfactory' against 'treated with dignity' because although the office staff are wonderful, care staff were on the whole poor, with little regard (from some) for the person in their care, talking about my mother as if she wasn't there. Kitchen staff are excellent, being kind, and preparing varied meals.The activities that the office staff put on, were interesting, and varied, cleanliness is very good.

My mum has been at Poplar House for 2 years now having moved from a care home locally. Its such a lovely place, alwsys kept spotless, staff are lovely, plenty going on for older people to get involved with, care staff are lovely too. Im so happy my mum is in such a caring and supportive environment. Special mention to Charlotte for which nothing is ever too much trouble.

The staff are incredibly friendly and professional. I was so impressed that I wanted to recommend it to my friend's 92-year-old father. My impromptu visit was met with warm smiles, and the staff's kindness made me feel at home. The premises are clean, and the service is top-notch. Highly recommended!

My brother lived here for over 2 years until, sadly, he passed away in August 2025. My brother was taken ill one morning, and the staff were so caring and supportive to my brother beyond what you would normally expect. They have always been so kind and helpful while my brother lived there for 2 1/2 years at Poplar House. They couldn't do enough for us all, especially during the sad time of his passing away. They should be recognised for their hard work and dedication.

The standard of cleaning indoors is fine except for some flies in windowsills in stair well. The temperature of the hot water has risen and was acceptable but now is rather hot. Scaffolding has been erected for a week or two but as yet not work has been done to balcony. I hope it will be started + completed very soon as it is an eye sore and restricts our outside space.

Well done activity coordinators. Well done Coopers Court.

I think that the staff look after us very well in all aspects of our care.

The staff are helpful and caring and try to organise daily activities to suite the many requirements of elderly residents. Their task is not an easy one and they have to take criticism from those who don't necessarily agree with the choices made. Sanctuary do sometimes take a long time to rectify repairs but I understand that is mainly due to costs. Overall Roman Ridge is a great place to live.

This home is not at a good standard. The staff are rarely here on the weekends and the security is lax. The meals at the restaurant are poorly priced, there is no option to have a small portion, the only option is to have the full portion at full price and this is too much food at too high a cost for some people. The attitude of the staff is very mixed some of them are very harsh towards residents and seem indifferent to our feelings. The WiFi which they promised to have installed is still not working and yet residents are being charged. The home itself is in poor repair and repairs take a very long time. The lounge carpet was recently flooded with sewage after the drains backed up, this was a few weeks ago and the lounge is still out of bounds for this. When my mum first moved in it was fantastic but the standards have slipped massively over the past few years. If standards do not improve then my mum will look elsewhere.

I have lived at Nichols Court for 18 months. It's a beautiful apartment and lovely grounds. We have a great manager and assistant manager. Lots of activities. Very happy.

I have found it has changed since I came in. The staff try very hard to do things with us. Just lately we have people who have dementia who find it hard to conform. I do help them as much as I can but its difficult. I would use the restaurant but due to price I can only go in now again.

Roman Ridge - Sanctuary Supported Living is not a care home. It has self contained flats with an option to join in activities and use the restaurant if required. Lots of opportunities outside including Meadow Hall (10 minutes away) shows etc. You can come and go as you please with the peace of mind knowing the reception and cameras keep your property safe. A care option is available for help if needed but only to assist.
