I find The Sycamores to be a clean and caring home. The staff are friendly and approachable. The care my mother has received has been exceptional.
Thank you, Joan, for letting us know how we are doing at The Sycamore and Poplars Care Home. The care and wellbeing of every resident is our number one priority and it is rewarding to have such positive feedback about how we are doing.
My stepfather had been in Sycamore before a couple of years ago and thrived there. He was moved into independent living again as he made so much progress in the few months he was there. He is now back, at my request, following some weeks at hospital with 3 bouts of pneumonia. I was told he wouldn't live for more than a week, but after a month in Sycamores on end of life care, he is eating meals, drinking, socialising and enjoying life. Thanks to the proper homely environment and wonderful 'family of staff'. Even I, at the age of 66, wouldn't mind a stay in there to enjoy all that's on offer. (I don't need it, thank God). Not modernised or posh or starchy, but home in the true sense.
Thank you, Jackie, for your positive feedback towards The Sycamore and Poplars Care Home. We are so pleased to hear how well your Stepfather has settled in, one of our top priorities is to provide comfort into the home so all residents feel welcomed.

My brother has been in the care home for a few years. I have thought he has always been looked after well as my brother can be a bit abrupt at times but staff never let this get to them one staff member takes time on her days off to take him into Mansfield which he does enjoy the staff work hard to achieve a really nice and homely home the home manager is really good always keeping me up to date with things so I would like to say a big thank you from all of our family.
Thank you, Pauline, we always appreciate individuals taking the time to give their feedback and we are very pleased to hear that your experience at The Sycamore and Poplars Care Home was so positive.

I was highly delighted with the service I received whilst in care. The beds were good and the rooms were clean and airy.
The carers in place were good and handled me with dignity. They all seemed to enjoy their work. I cannot fault this home in any way.

Good facilities.
Prompt attention to concerns, both personal and medical.
Thank you, Jo, for your feedback following your recent experience at The Sycamore and Poplars Care Home. We are pleased to hear it was so positive. We look forward to seeing you again soon. Have a wonderful day.
Mum's 87th birthday coincided with the official opening of the adjoining 'Poplers'. I was assisted to take Mum across to watch the entertainment. It was no trouble to the staff.
Whilst there, she was presented with a card and Birthday balloon and sung to which was lovely and we both enjoyed tea and cake. Back in The Sycamore staff presented Mum with a Birthday cake lit with candles and more Happy Birthday singing. We both enjoyed tea and cake again. I felt very welcome. All staff in both homes were caring and kind. Thank you.
Thank you, Sue, for sharing your experience of The Sycamore and Poplars Care Home. We are happy to hear that you and your mum had a fantastic day celebrating at both our homes. We look forward to seeing you again soon. Have a wonderful day.
They pulled out all the stops to make her happy with her own little living room, she was very appreciative of this. All the staff are lovely and very helpful thank you for everything you did for her we really appreciate it thanks.

When a relative is admitted to a care home we worry that they will not be properly looked after or stimulated in unfamiliar surroundings/faces they become distressed/depressed. This home has an air of happy competent support with lots of laughter and chatter. The rooms are beautiful and homely and visitors and residents are treated with the utmost respect. Clothes are laundered and ironed well, food is good and never a smell of urine (or other) when you walk in reflecting the standard of care throughout this facility. My step-father is happy from day one and looks 10 years younger. It feels like one big family supporting one another this reflects directly on the management as an organisation is only ever as good as the one at the top.

Knowing that the standard of care and commitment that she is receiving and has continued to receive from day one (April 2016).
All of the staff are just amazing and we as a family are so very grateful for them giving mum, and us the care and support over this past year, we would not change a thing, they are all amazing and for that, we are all truly grateful.
Thank you everyone.
I think that my sister is well taken care of and is in a secure environment. She gets on well and likes all of the staff. She likes to choose what to wear and what to eat. I always find the staff very helpful and the home always clean and pleasant to visit.
From my initial visit in February 2017, when looking for a care home, I found the atmosphere cheerful. The staff were kind and informative. I had a conducted tour of the home, which I found clean and tidy. I selected a room there and then and made my decision that this would be a suitable place for my husband and my opinion hasn't changed.
The staff are very professional, friendly and courteous. When I had a meal it was well cooked and served well.
Overall views are good. All the staff are really good and do their very best to help in every situation.
When my Mum was in her last hours most of the care worker that had been involved with her in her five-year stay here, came and said goodbye and gave her a kiss, very emotional. Highly recommend this care home the staff are great and nothing is to much trouble.
Love and best wishes to you all x x
It is not the most modern of buildings but for me, it is the care and humour of the dedicated staff that is far more important, they go over and above the call of duty.
Meals were good and the entertainment very good.
Christmas and New Year atmosphere was 'brill'
The home has just been decorated and looks very nice but always smells when you go in the lift of toilet smells.
Pleased with mum's health care. The carers are very good at their job, but they are very stretched with their time to have a few minutes to have time with them but they do their best. Have had problems with her clothing not wearing new clothes that we have bought.

Meet the Team (1)
I joined Springcare in June 2024 as the Manager for Sycamore and Poplars Care Home. With over 18 years of experience in the NHS and social care industry, my passion for caregiving has been the driving force throughout my career. My journey began at Thames Valley University London where I trained to be an RGN. I have held various roles including RGN, Clinical Lead, Deputy Manager, and Home Manager, each contributing to my deep commitment to providing exceptional care.
Living with my grandmother during her last five years and participating in her care profoundly enriched my dedication to the field. Making a positive difference has always been my motto and motivation. I embrace the challenges in my career as they inspire me to grow and improve continually. Outside of work, I cherish spending time with my family and enjoy cooking. I participate in marathons to raise funds for worthy causes, combining my love for fitness with philanthropy. To unwind, I delight in reading a good old-fashioned hardcover book.
