About Poplars
Poplars provides residential support for autistic adults and people with learning disabilities. Its registration covers learning disabilities, and the home operates within Autism West Midlands, an organisation focused on services, advice and care for autistic people and their families.
The wider organisation includes residential services, community support, supported living, training and an information line. Poplars is therefore relevant to people seeking a settled residential setting connected to an autism-focused charity with broader support for families, carers and professionals. Autism-focused residential support is the clearest feature distinguishing the home’s documented role.

Questions families ask
Who are Autism West Midlands residential services for?
They provide residential care services for autistic adults across the West Midlands.
Are Autism West Midlands residential services CQC rated?
Yes. All their services are rated Good by the Care Quality Commission.
How much does Poplars cost?
The CQC register does not list fees, so ask Poplars for its weekly fee. As a guide, Birmingham council paid on average £918 a week for a residential care place for people aged 65 and over in 2024-2025, against £982 across England (GOV.UK adult social care finance report). People who pay for their own care are usually charged more than councils pay.
