Excellent support from staff members at a time of crisis. Staff went above and beyond their job role to support my uncle, also extending support and reassurance to myself.
Full care needs met always. Staff professional and accommodating at all times. Full credit to all staff for their dedication.
Thank you!

An excellent, caring and effective facility, providing high-quality care in a supportive and friendly way. Mum has been here since August 2017. The home is immaculate and great care is taken to be friendly, to listen, and to provide a safe, friendly and thoughtful environment. All are treated with respect,
problems highlighted and potential solutions discussed openly. We have been impressed and very relieved our Mum is so well cared for.

Whilst my Mum was a resident for 4 short weeks, she was treated with dignity and respect by all members of staff, I cannot recommend this nursing home highly enough. It is the best in the area. Every need of my mum was met to an excellent standard right up to the end. All the staff are a credit to their
profession. We are always welcomed and made to feel special and everyone knew what they are doing and knew how my mum was doing, again can't thank you enough for what you did for my Mum and for us as a family.

My mother will have been at Water Royd for nine years next month. She was originally in the residential area but with the onset of dementia in the past couple of years has now moved into the dementia wing. She is well looked after and fully appreciates the comforts of the home. The standards of care
and treatment in these nine years has always been excellent - as indicated below in my ratings.

Mum and Dad came to Water Royd House whilst I went on holiday.
The home was clean and well looked after.
The staff were absolutely superb looking after their every need.
Every time I phoned to check on them a phone was taken to their room.
Unfortunately, the mobile signal is non-existent.
I have
just brought my father back for another stay and was greeted like a long lost friend.
Thoroughly recommended.

My Mum spent four weeks respite at Water Royd and she was extremely happy and content with the respect and dignity shown to her by staff members. She enjoyed joining in with the activities. My Mum said she was overwhelmed by the choice of food at mealtimes offered to her. Mum would definitely stay here
again and she has also recommended Water Royd to some of her neighbours and closest friends.

On visiting my relative when entering the building I was warmly welcomed by the management. The home had a very homely feel ad the staff were more than helpful. I sat in the room with my Mum. I saw staff regularly checking up on Mum (very caring). I noticed the home was very clean. My Mum told me everyone
was kind and the food was lovely.

My mother-in-law seems comfortable and well looked after. The staff pop in regularly and are friendly and helpful. Mother says the food is good and the staff always come round promptly when she rings for them, day or night. The premises are clean and tidy with no smells. Staff and management have been
helpful in helping to arrange matters with external agencies such as social work and GP's.

Current Review Score: 9.6 (9.566)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.6 (9.566) out of 10 for Water Royd House Nursing Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.6 out of 5 from 21 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 21 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Care Home is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  • a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months.

    The Average Rating of 4.566 for Water Royd House Nursing Home is calculated as follows: ( (160 Excellents x 5) + (70 Goods x 4) + (19 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 249 Ratings = 4.566

  • b) 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5').

    The 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Water Royd House Nursing Home is based on 21 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    • i) 4 points are available for the first 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 4

    • ii) 1 point is available for the number of Positive Reviews reaching 20% of the registered maximum number of service users in the last 24 months. If this number is partially reached, then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Care Home registered for a maximum of 50 service users has to reach 10 Positive Reviews to receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews it will receive 0.7 points. 20% of the 62 registered maximum number of service users is 12.4, which has been reached with 21 Positive reviews. Points = 1

  • When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.

  • If a Care Home does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.

Catherine Smith

Job Title: Care Manager

My name is Catherine Smith and I am the Registered Manager of Water Royd House Nursing Home in Barnsley, South Yorkshire.


Water Royd House is a purpose-built 62-bedded care home that caters for residential, nursing and residential dementia. I have worked for Maria Mallaband Care Group for eight years, starting out as a part-time Registered Nurse and have slowly worked up the ranks to become the Manager, a post which I have held for the past two years. I have 19 years experience as a Registered Nurse, working within the private sector. I have recently completed my level 4 in leadership and management and hope to further my academic career.
