Dewar Close is situated on the outskirts of Rugby, in the small village of Bilton. Dewar Close provides long-term residential care and short term respite care for people living with dementia, as well as older people with long term physical conditions.

 

The home has been designed as three separate households. The ground floor provides a home for 11 people with easy access, whilst the middle and top floors house 16 people each and can be accessed by a lift. Each household has a living area with a lounge, dining area and kitchenette, where people can make their own snacks and drinks, and staff are always happy to help with the preparation of hot refreshments if requested. The open living area is a central hub for each household where people like to get together and socialise with other residents, family and friends.

You’ll often find regular activities happening in the living area – or we might be outside in the garden. Our large, secure gardens have seating areas, planted spaces and raised beds where our residents and staff grow fruit and vegetables. Dewar Close also has a beauty salon, offering unisex hairdressing and manicures, as well as our Buddies Bungalow which includes a bright cafe and plenty of space for activities such as table tennis. The Memory Maker, our minibus, takes residents on local trips every month. Two wheelchairs can be accommodated on each trip and relatives can join in too. Volunteers from The Gift of Years Rugby visit the home regularly to provide regular services of worship, befriending, singing groups and one-to-one activities. If you’re thinking about making Dewar Close your new home, please get in touch to arrange a tour – like any new home, you’ll only know if it’s right for you when you walk through the front door.

Manager

I've been with WCS Care since 2014, starting my journey as a carer at Drovers House in Rugby before progressing my management career. I believe 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.
