Percentages are CQC scores from its newer way of assessing homes. ?
CQC scored 33 standards: 28 good, 2 exceptional, 3 below good. Use “See the breakdown” on each key question for its standards. ?
CQC hasn't inspected this home for more than 5 years. It re-inspects based on risk, so an old rating doesn't count against a home on this site, but it may not reflect the home today. ?
WCS Care Group Limited runs Dewar Close, a residential care home in Rugby, Warwickshire with room for 43 residents. CQC registers it to look after older people, people with dementia, younger adults, people with a physical disability, people with mental health needs and people with a sensory impairment.
Across Warwickshire, 80% of rated homes are Good or Outstanding, against 82% for England. Its kitchen was rated 5 for food hygiene in June 2025. 95% of homes in Warwickshire also score 5. Of the 6 closest rated homes, none is rated above it. It is one of 13 homes run by WCS Care Group Limited. 8 of those with a rating are Good or Outstanding.
CQC rated it Good overall and in all five key questions in July 2025. That is down from Outstanding in August 2019. The typical rating in Warwickshire is about 3 years old, so this one is fairly recent. CQC found some shortfalls in “consent to care and treatment”, one of 3 standards out of 33 scored below good.
