Meet The Manager
Caroline Monaghan-Fox is the Care Home Manager at Poplars Care Home.
After completing a Psychology degree I worked in a variety of support roles working with people with mental ill health and worked my way up to Registered Manager. I have had 16 years of experience in this role in a variety of residential settings with different client groups and have also area-managed residential and supported living services.
It is a huge responsibility to be entrusted with your loved ones and it is my aim that their experience of care is fun, safe and person-centered achieved via an established and well-trained care team who absolutely have the right values for the job.
Poplars has been providing quality residential care for both long-term and respite residents since 1996. The home is located off Ruislip High Street.
It currently has 27 residents in single en-suite rooms. It was formerly ‘The Poplars’ tea room and consists of two Victorian detached houses linked by a modern extension.
