A great place to grow older
Live independently in your own self-contained apartment in our Poppyfields extra-care development.
Your new home is centred around its own community where, just a short walk from your door, you’ll be able to have a bite to eat in the restaurant, have a trim in the hair salon or relax in the comfortable lounge area.
An internal courtyard garden and shared space offers the chance to get outdoors whatever the time of year, and will be the focal point for activities and events as our community grows.

Enjoy your life to the fullest
At Poppyfields you’ll be supported by on-site care services, which are available 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, and will work flexibly around your needs.
All apartments come with an emergency alarm system to offer added security and peace of mind for both you and your family.
We understand that quality of life is important, so Poppyfields is much more than just somewhere to live. We want you to really enjoy your life to the fullest, so our team is keen to work with you to support any social, recreational and educational activities you wish to get involved with.

You’ll also be able to buy snacks and drinks throughout the day whether that’s with other residents or your friends and relatives.
