Poppymill Brook, a new care home in Brockworth, Gloucester, is set to open in Winter 2026 and has been thoughtfully designed with sustainable living at its heart.
The home will offer high-quality residential, dementia, and respite care for up to 66 residents. Every bedroom will feature an ensuite wet room, and a unique all-inclusive fee will provide families with peace of mind, free from hidden or unexpected costs.
Marking a milestone in the construction of Poppymill Brook, Managing Director Em Dean and Regional Director Jade Mainwaring, visited the site to place the final solar panel on the roof of the building, which will generate a substantial share of the home’s electricity needs.
Other green features integrated into the build at Poppymill Brook include:
- Advanced battery storage systems optimize energy use, significantly lowering the home’s carbon footprint.
- Sustainable building materials carefully selected for their minimal environmental impact and thermal efficiency.
- Ground source heat pump technology harnessing the earth’s natural heat to further reduce emissions.
- LED, movement sensor lighting that uses less energy and produces minimal heat.
- Water-saving measures are integrated throughout the home, ensuring efficiency without compromising comfort or quality.
Em Dean said, “At Poppymill Brook, we are creating a care home that not only delivers exceptional care and comfort for residents but also reflects a more sustainable future. By investing in renewable energy technologies and environmentally conscious design from the outset, we are reducing our environmental impact while creating a high-quality home that will serve the local community for many years to come.
“Seeing the final solar panel installed was a proud milestone for everyone involved in the project and a reminder of our ambition to combine outstanding care with responsible, forward-thinking development.” Poppymill Brook is located on Mill Lane, Brockworth, Gloucester, GL3 4QG.
