Drovers House care home

Welcome to Drovers House care home located near Rugby train station. The home provides long-term residential and dementia care for older people, as well as short-term respite stays.   

What type of care do we provide? 

At Drovers House, we provide: 

• Residential care: long-term, 24-hour support for older people 
• Dementia care: support for people living with dementia 
• Respite care: short-term stays to give carers a break or help someone recover after an illness 

We work closely with residents and their families so that care reflects individual needs, preferences and routines.  

Homely spaces 

Drovers House has 75 bedrooms, including ground floor and ensuite rooms where available. The home is divided into six households, each with its own open plan lounge, dining area and kitchen.  

Each household is designed in one of three lifestyles based on town, country or classical living, with hallways decorated to reflect hobbies, interests and local information. These displays encourage conversations and reminiscence.  

In the home you’ll also find: 

• A café and day lounge on the ground floor 
• A shop where residents can stock up on items for their household kitchen 
• A hair salon and spa bathroom 

A large garden with a cycle path for the side-by-side bike, outdoor gym equipment, pitch and putt lawn, raised beds and raised planting beds looked after by residents.  

Life at Drovers House 

Daily life centres around the living areas in each household where residents spend time with each other or with family, or join in with regular activities. Residents can choose to: 

• take part in crafts, baking, gentle exercise and games 
• enjoy the garden, outdoor gym or side-by-side bike on the cycle path 
• join in with group or one-to-one and music sessions led by WCS Care’s Community Musicians 
• visit the on-site café, shop or hair salon 
• go out on local trips on the memory maker minibus, which is wheelchair accessible and open to relatives who would like to join 

Volunteers from The Gift of Years Rugby also regularly visit to provide services of worship, befriending, singing groups and other activities.

Health benefits through innovation and technology  

To support residents’ wellbeing and safety, Drovers House benefits from night-time acoustic monitoring, which allows staff to respond quickly if someone needs support during the night, but leaves those who are sleeping well to rest without being disturbed.  

In addition, reception and one household has circadian rhythm lighting which mimics natural daylight to set the body's internal body clock, helping people to be more alert during the day and sleep better at night. It has been proven to support health and wellbeing and has significant benefits for residents, particularly for people living with dementia.
