At Green House® Cottages of Poplar Grove, care is built on relationships. The small-home design of the Green House® model creates an environment where residents and caregivers truly know one another, allowing meaningful connections to grow naturally and consistently over time.
Unlike traditional long-term care environments, Green House® Cottages are intentionally small. Each cottage feels like a real home, housing a close-knit group of residents supported by a consistent care team. This smaller setting allows staff to spend more time with each resident, building trust, familiarity, and comfort that simply isn’t possible in larger, institutional settings.
Care at Poplar Grove is provided by specially trained caregivers who work closely with the same residents every day. This consistency allows staff to understand individual routines, preferences, and needs—often before residents even have to ask. Over time, these daily interactions turn into genuine relationships built on trust and mutual respect.
Strong relationships mean staff understand residents beyond their medical needs. They know favorite meals, morning routines, hobbies, and life stories. This deeper understanding leads to more personalized, respectful care and helps residents feel truly seen and valued in their home.
When residents feel comfortable with the people caring for them, they’re more likely to express their needs, ask questions, and engage in daily life. These strong bonds create a sense of emotional safety that supports overall well-being and happiness.
At Green House® Cottages of Poplar Grove, staff–resident relationships are at the heart of the community. Shared meals, conversations, laughter, and everyday moments bring everyone together, creating an atmosphere that feels less like a facility and more like a family home.
The small-home model allows relationships to flourish—and those relationships make all the difference. At Green House® Cottages of Poplar Grove, it’s not just about where residents live, but who they share life with each day.
