Dewar Close is situated on the outskirts of Rugby in the small village of Bilton. The home benefits from its proximity to local facilities, including shops, a post office, a chemist, a fish and chip shop, a florist, and a bus route.
Offering long-term and respite care for older people, Dewar Close comprises three households, each with a living area, lounge, dining area, and kitchenette, where people can live independently with help on hand when they need it. The open living area is a central hub for each household where people can get together and socialise with other residents, family and friends. A beauty salon also offers unisex hairdressing and manicures.
The team at Dewar Close works hard to offer residents an engaging lifestyle. Residents can take part in regular activities, such as crafts, baking, games, and gentle exercise, with sessions tailored to individual interests. Residents can also enjoy the large, secure gardens with seating areas, planted spaces, and raised beds for growing fruit and vegetables. A cycle path allows residents to enjoy riding the side-by-side bicycle for two.
As part of the home's activity provision, Community Musicians provide one-to-one and group music sessions. The Lifestyle Coaches plan a mix of activities and aim to help residents continue doing what they enjoy. WCS's Memory Maker minibus provides regular local trips for residents, including those who use a wheelchair. Relatives are invited to join so families can make new memories together.
Prospective residents and families are encouraged to arrange a tour of Dewar Close to experience the home in person.

Mum in Law was moved here from hospital, the staff are fabulous, kind and caring and I have yet to meet an unhelpful member of staff. The transition from home to hospital to care home is a difficult task at any time, but from the first visit to look around to mum in law being admitted has been a better than expected journey, thanks to the professionalism and dedication of the staff. The family have been supported as well as mum in law. Food and range of activities on offer is brilliant. The home is very clean, tidy and welcoming. What more could you want! Thank you to all the staff.
Thank you for taking the time to leave a review for us. We really appreciate your very kind feedback which I've shared with the rest of the team. Very best wishes.

Dewar Close have worked wonders for Dad. He was really struggling before he arrived this summer but because of the tailored care and attention from staff he soon felt safe and cared for, he started eating and drinking properly again, watching TV and laughing. It was a wonderful transformation and meant the world to us as a family. Staff are not only very caring with regard to residents but are very welcoming to us and we feel very much at home visiting, and any queries we have had by phone or email are always replied to fully and very promptly. Excellent.
Thank you so much for leaving us a review and for your lovely feedback. We're so pleased to hear your dad's been progressing well since moving into his new home. I'll share your comments with the rest of the team. Best wishes.
Mum settled very well as the staff are so friendly and welcoming. Her care needs are met, and she is receptive to the care given. The care and office staff are professional and caring. They are always happy to make any tweaks to Mum's care plan as new things arise.

This is a very caring environment where staff think about the needs of residents and adapt to individuals. Mum has dementia with a decline in ability to communicate but the staff never give up on interacting with her.

There is always a good choice of well prepared food on offer and my aunt not only enjoys the meals but thrives on them. When she moved in she was very weak but the fact that she has now been there for such a long time is testament to the quality of the care provided.
Thank you for your lovely feedback and kind words - I'll pass your comments onto the team who always like to hear that they're making a difference to the lives of our residents. Best wishes.
One aspect...
One aspect which has been hard is when my dad has had to quarantine following a hospital visit. This is extremely isolating being confined to his room with little interaction. This has affected my dad's mental health.
Thank you for leaving a review for us. We do appreciate your feedback and will look at what else we can do for residents who have to isolate after hospital visits or stays. Kind regards.

The staff at Dewar Close have helped us through one of the most difficult and upsetting periods in our life as a family. My dad was taken in as a new resident during the pandemic. The staff have been so caring and thoughtful. I know my dad would rather be living in his own home, but I also know that as far as his dementia allows, he enjoys this new phase at Dewar Close. I don't know what we would have done without Dewar and its amazing team.
Thank you for taking the time to leave a review for us - we really appreciate your kind words and have shared your comments with the rest of the team. Kind regards.
Staff are extremely caring. Nothing is too much trouble. Room is excellent. Good food.

My sister has been resident at Dewar Close for 10 months and we have never been inside the home because of the pandemic. We have always been able to visit by booking visiting appointments; visits took place initially in the garden, then outside the conservatory with the resident inside the patio...
The visiting system has been superbly overseen. We have not assessed many aspects because we have no knowledge of them, not having been inside the home, nor met with many staff.
Thank you for taking the time to write a review for us. We're looking forward to when we can open our doors and welcome you into the home properly but are pleased that our visiting arrangements have worked well for you in the meantime. Best wishes.

His is quite difficult to complete due to Covid restrictions making visiting inside the home impossible, however when we do visit in the safe area, we have found it to be clean and bright. Really unable to comment on food and drink for the above reason, those boxes not ticked are also for the same reason. I will be happy to give my views in a more detailed review once normal visiting is allowed.
Thank you for your review. Hopefully we'll be able to welcome people back into the home in the not-too-distant future, but in the meantime we're pleased to hear our visiting arrangements are working for you.
My husband has been living at Dewar Close for 12-months. He has been well cared for by excellent staff members and has settled in well.

My relative has been warmly welcomed into the home and supported compassionately by the staff during the Covid-19 pandemic. The senior managers have supported me to care for her remotely and responded promptly and positively to my requests for medical and other interventions. Her carers have made an effort to get to know her and to enjoy her company. Her room and the shared rooms are light and bright, clean and well-tended. The restricted visiting arrangements have been implemented with flexibility and tenderness by the visit coordinator. It is a great benefit to be able to read online the daily care records for my relative and staff are willing to respond to queries I have arising from those records.
Thank you for taking the time to leave a review for us and your kind, reflective comments which recognise the team's efforts to support residents and families during the pandemic. I've passed your comments on to the rest of the team. Best wishes.
Early days as Dad just joined, but so far, very good. Very good staff, especially two particular members who have been excellent.

They are genuine staff that provide a second to none service. I feel happy that Mum is being cared for and looked after. They provide brilliant activities and involve family members in all activities.
This is a lovely welcoming home. The staff were always kind and caring. They made my dad's last few months happy. He loved them all. So supportive to his needs.

The home and staff are excellent. Staff are very understanding and caring, nothing is too much trouble. They go above and beyond to help. They have got so much understanding on the needs that all residents have. My mum is well looked after and she is safe which was a big worry for me when she was at home and I was at work. I'm very happy with the care she gets.
All the staff are wonderful and very kind. I've not seen Mum so settled and happy for a long time.

I believe that maintaining a positive mindset can help any day be better. I love making meaningful connections with residents, hearing their fascinating stories and understanding how I can make their day better.
