Key Review Excerpts

I had been at Poplar Run less then a week when I had a blood clot dislodge and go into my left lung, without the quick and decisive response the staff had on my behalf I wouldn’t be here to write a review for Poplar Run.

Rehab patient · 2022★★★★★

Staff sleeping on the job. PCAs doing housekeeping and reception to save money, yet they are suppose to provide good care for residents too… No med techs to give medications when meds are due!

Family member · 2025☆☆☆☆
