CQC hasn't inspected this home for more than 5 years. It re-inspects based on risk, so an old rating doesn't count against a home on this site, but it may not reflect the home today. ?
Poplars is one of 272 care homes in Birmingham: a 5-bed residential care home in Birmingham, run by Autism.West Midlands. CQC registers it to look after people with a learning disability or autism. The typical home in Birmingham has 16 beds, so this one is on the small side.
In Birmingham, 77% of rated care homes are Good or Outstanding (England 82%). Its kitchen was rated 5 for food hygiene in August 2013. 86% of homes in Birmingham also score 5. Of the 6 closest rated homes, none is rated above it. It is one of 5 homes run by Autism.West Midlands. 5 of those with a rating are Good or Outstanding.
Its CQC rating, from November 2018, is Good across the board: overall and for every key question. It was also rated Good at the inspection before, in July 2016. CQC hasn't re-rated the home for over 5 years, like 60% of homes in Birmingham. Here is how rating age varies by council.
