I recently (accidentally) received a Drosera tomentosa. Since I have got it the health of the plant hasn't improved and may have slightly declined. I was just wondering if anybody has some advice for caring for these guys?

Indoors, water tray, grow lights. I treat it the same as a typical sundew. I suspect it won't like high summer temperatures, but mine's fine up to about 80F.

Does it like temperature drops?

The species grows at highland elevations in Brazil, so I think temperature drops are ideal, but in my experience not necessary. I have a pot full of very happy plants (well minus them being slowly swallowed up by Sphagnum) at room temperature and even got some seeds off of them recently.
