Our Dad had stayed at Poplin on a few occasions over the past few years for rehab after being in the hospital for medical issues. The incredible dedication and love that the staff and management showed Dad and our family was what we had hoped for. When the time came for him to transition out of assisted living in Bedford to full time nursing care in August we were so relieved to find that Poplin had a room available. Dad's health was failing quickly and we weren't sure how long we would have together. From Jeff and all the rest of the staff, every day was made special for our father. The unconditional

Awful. They have no idea how to handle a dementia patient, event though they said they do. Their ankle door locking devices do not work. They told us that we needed to find a new place for mom, but we told them it was their job and they moved her to a psych unit in MA. Not what we would have preferred but better than the care she was being provided at Poplin, which was little to none. If you have a choice do not send your loved one to Poplin.
