The Poplars

A warm welcome to our home

The Poplars offers high-quality residential, day, respite and dementia care to its 49 residents. Located close to the centre of the vibrant market town of Market Rasen, the home’s new specialist dementia 11 bedroom household, with additional living, dining and communal areas, opened in April 2017.

Spaces to socialise or simply unwind

Residents can enjoy the daily social activities going on in the central communal areas with the hairdressing salon open during the week. Our cosy lounges give more privacy for socialising with friends and family or watching TV.

Peaceful gardens to relax and enjoy

Surrounded by peaceful and beautifully tendered gardens, residents can take a seat on one of the homes patios or stroll through the colourful flower beds. Our lovely landscaped gardens are there to enjoy throughout the year.

My mother has been in The Poplars for about three years. She is now in the advanced stage of Alzheimer's. Her care has always been excellent. She has always been treated and respected as an individual and the staff have adapted to her needs as her illness has progressed. The staff clearly care very much about the residents. The standard of care is high and always with safety and quality at its core. I am so glad I chose this home for my mother.

Activities

Whether it’s wet or dry outside, we at OSJCT feel that activities are essential in providing the best caring environment to live in.

Hobbies don’t simply stop when living with us at The Poplars. We have a dedicated Activities Co-ordinator who works closely with our residents to create a programme of fulfilling activities and events, tailored around each resident’s requests, hobbies and interests. The programme of events and activities provide a source of fun and laughter, to help each resident live their life to the full and make new friendships.

We are also fortunate to have the support of many volunteers of all ages from the local community, strengthening our links to this thriving market town. Here is a sample of activities on offer:

Trips to garden centres, cafés, pubs, sporting events, National Trust parks, wildlife parks, aquariums and museums.
Visit from Pets as Therapy Dogs
Exercise and wellness activities, for example Seated Yoga, Zumba
Fun activities with the local toddler and nursery group
Board game competitions and quizzes
Music therapy sessions
Gardening
Arts and crafts
Communal Church services

With so many well-being activities for body and mind on offer, we also recognise that everyone needs some personal space for relaxation and mindfulness for personal reflection. The cosy lounges offer an opportunity for some quiet time or to host family and friends.

And that’s not all:

We’ve had silent discos, hoe downs, Chinese banquets, Oscar parties and so much more.

Many of the activities feature Reminiscence Therapy to aid those living with Dementia to remember events, people and places using sight, touch, taste, smell and sound.

Food

The talented chef and kitchen team prepare tasty, home-cooked meals on site daily from our own kitchens. We source quality produce for our excellent breakfast, lunch and dinner menus. All-day dining is available for lighter meals and snacks and all dishes are carefully balanced to get the best nutritional value and cater for individual dietary requirements and preferences.

Seasonal produce is chosen whenever possible and of course, relatives and friends are always welcome to join us. The menus change daily and the kettle is always on. Our chef bakes every day so there is always a fresh cake for residents, friends and families to enjoy.

Residents are also encouraged to help prepare their own food and to make snacks whenever they choose.
