Poppy Fields

Poppy Fields is a home care agency based in Mansfield, in the Nottinghamshire council area, registered with the Care Quality Commission to provide personal care to people in their own homes. It most likely works within about 6 miles of its Mansfield office, which is our estimate rather than something the agency has told us. It is registered to care for older people, people living with dementia, younger adults, people with a physical disability and people with a learning disability or autism. It is part of Fosse Healthcare, which has 14 branches in England. The agency has been registered since October 2018.

At its latest inspection, published December 2019, the CQC rated Poppy Fields Requires improvement, which means the CQC found the service was not performing as well as it should and told it how to improve. Ratings can change after a new inspection, so read the CQC report before you decide.
