I stayed at Drovers house for 8 weeks after leaving Hospital, I hoped to rest, gain confidence and mobility in this time. From the moment I walked in I felt cared for and supported, all the staff were amazing and treated all the residents like their own family. The rooms and facilities were lovely and although I wanted to be as independent as possible I knew the staff were there for me 24/7. I would recommend Drovers House to any family looking for amazing care for their loved one.
Thank you so much for taking the time to leave us a review and for your kind words, it means a lot. I'll share your comments with the team, who I'm sure will appreciate hearing your feedback. Best wishes.
Both mum and dad spent time in Drovers. Their stays were both very good with excellent caring staff. Both were treated with respect in their final days.

After spending the past part of last year in and out of various hospitals following numerous falls and then receiving a dementia diagnosis both the family and mum decided that she required 24hr care. We chose Drovers House mainly because of the "feel good atmosphere" that every member of this wonderful team help to create. You are met with smiley faces from both staff and residents everywhere you go. Nothing is too much trouble, the kindness of the staff, quality of food and the comfort of her room all help to make mum feel at home. Although mum constantly declines to get involved in the numerous activities that are on offer, they never give up on her and will always try and encourage her to join in.Communication between Drovers and the family is excellent. Our family and especially mum are very happy that we chose Drovers as her "forever home".
Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review, and for your kind words. It's lovely to receive such a positive affirmation of what we do and it's our pleasure caring for your mum. Best wishes.
I want to give a shout out to Tanya and Zoe for their amazing Christmas decorations they made for all the residents on floor 1. They have made the floor look so bright and festive, and so welcoming it has put a smile on my face. The decorations are absolutely brilliant, I work in a primary school...
Thank you for making me feel Christmassy too

My daughter's nan went to Drovers at the end on May 2025 as a D2A resident. Due to a decline in health it was clear to see that she would not be able to return home. Joe the General Manager went above and beyond to help my daughter's nan stay at Drovers. He was always there to support them till the end. The staff that looked after her was amazing in the way they cared for her. Nothing was to much trouble for them.

The whole team are very caring and listen carefully to any issues and act promptly to resolve things.
One of the carers has recently been standing in as a receptionist and has done a great job, the team at Drovers really seem to pull together when they need to. There's a great sense of camaraderie between the staff, many of whom have been there many years, this makes for a much nicer atmosphere for my mum, who has dementia, to live in.
Thank you so much for leaving us a review and for your kind words. It means a lot and it's our absolute pleasure caring for your mum. I'll share your feedback with the rest of the team. Best wishes.

Our father had been in Drovers for 2 years, and the care he received was excellent. His body and mind was kept as active as possible when possible. The staff made it feel like home even to the visitors, nothing was any trouble. He was loved and cared for in a really touching special way like he was...
We insisted he was kept at the home right up until his passing. The carers made it very special and some of them went above and beyond at the end, even on there days off. We are so thankful to have found such an amazing home.
Thank you for leaving a review for us - we really appreciate your feedback. It was our absolute pleasure to care for your father. With very best wishes.
Great service, excellent staff, Drovers clean and welcoming, mum very happy. Please keep up the excellent work!

Both of my parents were in Drovers House we were made to feel welcome as my parents had a lot of visitors. Every event that took place the staff involved the residents with. Can't fault all of the staff and management they took the time to get to know them, their likes and especially dislikes in my dads case. Our memories of their last few months were mostly happy ones and that was because of Drovers House and its staff thank you to all of you and a merry Christmas.
Thank you for your review. It was our pleasure to care for your parents. I've shared your lovely feedback with the rest of the team.
Drovers House took great care of both of my parents when they needed it most. Staff were caring, friendly and professional, environment was very much home from home. When the sad day came for each of them, the staff were supportive and couldn't do enough for all the family.

Recently, my Uncle spent time, after being in hospital, at Drovers House, in Rugby. The staff and Managers provided excellent care and kindness towards him. They also ensured that his rehab journey, was efficient, to help him "get home" asap. I honestly felt at peace knowing, that he was receiving the best care, whilst I spent time there and when I wasn't! Thank you to each one of you who provided care and love.

Mum has been at Drovers home for a long time. The staff are kind, hard-working, caring and loving. The home is bright, and cheerful, with a friendly warm welcome. So important when visiting loved ones, particularly when they are very ill. Mum is treated with kindness, dignity and care, and lots of cuddles and love. At very difficult times, staff have gone beyond the call of duty, visiting, supporting and staying well beyond their shifts. All staff are very supportive of us as a family, which we really appreciate. Regular meetings are organised and the management team are caring, approachable and supportive for any enquiries, and resolves any queries rapidly. The resident Gateway is really useful. Staff put residents' needs first and key carers and all staff are helpful, kind and warm. We appreciate all their hard work and kindness. Thank you.
Thank you for leaving a review for us and your lovely feedback. We really appreciate your comments which I've shared with the rest of the team.
Our mother moved into Drovers House around 9 years ago. She has suffered from Dementia which has increased in its severity over the period of her time at Drovers. The facilities provided are very good with each resident having their own room with an en-suite shower room. In addition, there are some...
The staff throughout mums stay have been outstanding in their care and compassion. This was shown through the recent COVID pandemic when many of the staff went above and beyond in their dedication to the welfare of the residents. This was greatly appreciated by families who were unable to attend.
As a family, we are delighted we were able to find a place at Drovers for mum's care. Our thanks go to the Drovers Team and for all the care and support they provide.
Thank you for taking the time to leave a review for us. We really appreciate your feedback. Kind regards
Moved my mum to Drovers House recently from the local authority care home. Very friendly staff and lots of activities for the residents. My mum seems much happier since moving here. Would recommend it to anyone looking for an activity-led place for a loved one to stay.

After a bad fall and a couple of weeks in hospital, our 99-year-old mum was admitted to Drover House for six weeks of rehabilitation. We were concerned that she wouldn't receive the care that she needed - but we shouldn't have worried. Drovers were incredible. The staff were kind, the care was...
On behalf of mum and our family - 5 stars every time. Thank you.
Thank you for taking the time to leave a review for us - your feedback means a lot to us. It was our pleasure to care for your mum and have her, and you, as part of the Drovers House family. With our very best wishes.
