Colonial Poplin and Poplin Way are proud to boast an activities program that is both coordinated and run by three certified activity directors. With great emphasis on enriching the quality of life for our residents, the comprehensive activities' program focuses on both group and one-on-one dynamics - dynamics which enhance the physical, cognitive, social and spiritual ground of each and every resident.

Though both facilities sometimes converge for larger scale entertainment, Colonial Poplin and Poplin Way do have separate activity schedules. In one day, one could walk through our facilities in the morning and hear the soothing sounds of Karen Johnson's Clarinet as residents adore her three retired greyhounds, Rumford, Butchie and Gabby. During the afternoon hours, residents of Poplin Way may be partaking in a baking session in our lovely Country Kitchen as Colonial Poplin residents enjoy listening to and reciting poetry. These are just a few examples of several activities which find their ways into our residents' lives. Every month offers new programs and many of our entertainers are welcomed back by our residents which is another mark of compassion found within our facilities. And with the warmer months ahead of us, the activities' program will be utilizing the three outdoor patios and will be planning many trips to enjoy the beautiful New England scenery and visit local shopping areas and restaurants.

For more information on activities, please e-mail us, call 603-895-3126, or be sure to inquire about the programs in a comprehensive tour of our facilities.
