Our primary objective is to improve the quality of life of our clients and their families and we seek to promote independence, choice and dignity of the individual. We believe that clients must be safe and secure at all times, whilst providing a relaxed and stimulating environment that motivates them to live a full and happy life.

The Poplars provide 24-hour nursing care, delivered by highly trained registered nurses, care assistants and our visiting therapies team. Where possible, clients have the choice of gender for their care. Our staff are carefully screened with extensive referencing and police criminal record checks and receive professional training. We believe highly trained and well managed staff are the secret to providing quality and safe care. An individual lifestyle is essential, no matter how old or how dependent we are, so our staff ensure lifestyle choices are maintained. Our clients enjoy visiting local shops, an evening at the cinema, a quiz afternoon, or simply watching television in the privacy of their bedroom. It's vital our clients keep active mentally and physically to make the most of every day. At The Poplars clients are spoilt for choice with art workshops, flower arranging, handicrafts, games & quizzes, parties, shopping, visiting speakers, live performances, musical evenings, gardening, computer games & internet, clients' association as well as religious observance services. In the summer we have garden tea parties and barbecues and meals can be taken on the terrace. Days out are frequent to Canterbury and the seaside. Making new friends is easy at The Poplars and everyone has the opportunity to join in. At The Poplars, you're never alone.
