Poplar Grove
Poplar Grove sits at 300 West Ashe Street in Burgaw, North Carolina, and serves 60 beds of memory care. The community works with older adults living with Alzheimer’s disease and other dementias. Its stretch of Burgaw scores 59 for walkability, which puts some errands within reach on foot and leaves the rest to a car.
Forty-four residents live there now, so the building runs at 73 percent occupancy. For families who cannot wait months for an opening, that number carries practical weight. A community this size also keeps resident groupings smaller than a sprawling campus would.
Nursing services and staffing run around the clock here. The community also operates a program it calls Secured Living, which points to the perimeter management dementia care ordinarily demands. Continuous coverage is standard across memory care, not a mark of distinction, but it is a real feature of how the days are structured.
Dining is restaurant-style. There is a library, an entertainment room, and an outdoor common area, plus transportation services for residents who need to get somewhere. Inspection records here stretch back over eleven years. The themes that recur across that span include medication management, staffing and staff credentials, care planning and documentation, and resident rights and protections.
Medicaid is accepted, which matters because memory care rarely turns out to be a short arrangement. Families planning for dementia care are usually planning in years, and coverage pathways determine what stays affordable across that stretch. Poplar Grove is set up for older adults who need secured, supervised dementia care in Pender County, with families who expect Medicaid to carry a meaningful share of the cost over time.
