All staff at Poplars are excellent communicators. The care home has a friendly atmosphere. The owner/managers are very thorough and have discussed all details relating to my mum's care on numerous occasions. From what I have seen (due to COVID restrictions) the home is very clean. They have also dealt with COVID restrictions very well.
Thank you for your feedback; we pride ourselves on our care standard and appreciate the recognition regarding COVID procedures.
We were very pleased with the care and attention that our Mother received. From the start, we were impressed with the warm and friendly atmosphere and have no regrets in placing our Mother in your care.

From our first visit to Poplars, we felt that our mother would be well looked after there. The staff are welcoming, friendly and professional and there is a family atmosphere. The home is ideally placed for local visits to cafes, restaurants and a nice garden centre and Poplars itself has a lovely garden which is full of flowers in the summer. The individual rooms are nicely decorated and the staff clearly make an effort to make the surroundings attractive and comfortable. Lots of activities are arranged for the residents both in the home and away from it and we have attended a Christmas party and a summer event and it was clear that a lot of thought and detail had gone into the planning of both. The staff always kept us informed with regard to health issues and worked with us in resolving any problems. I always felt confident that my mum was getting the best care possible and it took a weight off our shoulders knowing that she was being well looked after by a caring staff.
Thank you Victoria for your kind words; we strive to provide personalised and effective care for all our residents. We are delighted to note you have felt supported during your mothers time with us. I will feedback your kind words to the Team who all made it happen!
Our mother spent the final two years of her life at Poplars. It might not have a state of the art building, but the care given to our mother and both my sister and I was first-rate. The staff really do care about the residents and know them well. There are so many activities for residents and...
Poplars offers a lovely family environment - we were really pleased we chose it.
In the last few weeks of Mam's life, a comprehensive palliative care plan was arranged. We were well supported by the staff and Community Matron, our views were sought and respected and arrangments were made to make Mam's final days as comfortable and dignified as possible.
Our mother died peacefully in her sleep.
Thank you to all for your kindness.
Thank you for your kind message; it was a pleasure to have cared for your mother and to have her as a resident at Poplars.

The staff at Poplars have been kind and patient with my mum. They have tried to encourage her to join in activities but she tends to stay in her room. They pop in regularly to check on her and are friendly and approachable. Unfortunately, there is an issue with the laundry which seems to go astray regularly and is a concern and worry to mum.
Thank you for your review. We are delighted to provide care for your mother. We have recently overhauled our laundry procedures and have been receiving positive feedback. We hope you are noting these changes along with your mother. Hopefully learning from any errors can make the system better for all.
The care has always been excellent and my mother has a very pleasant room.

Excellent service and care from the first phone call. All the staff could not be more caring and thoughtful to my mum and me. My mum is safe and happy now.

Items often missing, shoes not seen and missing for about 9 months. Clothes are often returned inside out, which means that they will probably go on the same way. We also find other people clothes and slippers in the cupboard.

I am happy with the service the home is providing. I have made new friends and enjoy all the meals. I like some of the activities but I would like to go out more often.

My aunt is a resident of Poplars Care Home and she is being well looked after. Without exception, the staff are professional, caring and friendly. It is hard to see a relative leave their own home but they have done everything possible to settle her in. She is enjoying the company of the staff and residents, feels safe, and loves the meals.
Thank you for your feedback which we will certainly cascade to the staff.

We reviewed a lot of care homes before picking this one for our Mum. It has given great relief and security to know she is well looked after by such kind and caring staff. I always feel she is being well looked after here and we know we have nothing to worry about. Facilities and activities are very good. A jolly atmosphere considering a lot of the patients have dementia.
Lovely, friendly welcoming atmosphere and staff.
Thank you for your kind words. We continually look to make improvements so your feedback is great to hear.
It is now 6 weeks since Mum arrived and it is good to see how the home is getting Mum motivated to be involved in many different activities.
Very happy with all aspects of Mum's care.

Following a cataract operation, the family felt, particularly with medication etc, we needed a safe, caring environment to look after mum.
Poplars provide this naturally with committed staff who always put residents first.
Lots of stimulation with regular daily activities.
Very refreshing to witness.
I am more than happy with the standard of care mum receives. She is kept clean, is well dressed and eats very well.

After completing a Psychology degree I worked in a variety of support roles working with people with mental ill health and worked my way up to Registered Manager. I have had 16 years of experience in this role in a variety of residential settings with different client groups and also have area-managed residential and supported living services.
It is a huge responsibility to be entrusted with your loved ones and it is my aim that their experience of care is fun, safe and person-centred achieved via an established and well-trained care team who absolutely have the right values for the job.

My role at the Home is to oversee the catering, housekeeping, and laundry. IT and maintenance of the Home. My priorities are safety for the residents, staff and visitors and a lot of my work involves maintaining compliance and pushing the service forward with innovative solutions.
The best part of my role is the residents; I will always make time to chat. I am passionate about learning more about how they want their care and the service to run. I also enjoy seeing the Poplars team working towards common goals.

I joined Poplars in November 2021. I decided that after working in the logistics business for over 25 years I needed a change of direction. I wanted to work in a job where I could use my organisational, analytical, and social skills to support people and Poplars has been the perfect choice.
The best part of my job is being able to spend some time during the day to have a chat with the residents at Poplars or join in one of the daily activities, which makes the sometimes very busy days very worthwhile.
My challenge has been to learn the procedures of what is required to work in a care home and to move out of my comfort zone and learn new things. No day is the same.
I was looking for a job where I would arrive at work with a smile on my face and leave with a smile on my face and I’ve found that at Poplars.
