Mum says she is very comfortable here at Ghyll Royd Care Home.
She says everyone is very kind and considerate towards her. She feels safe here. I am very happy with Mum's care, her surroundings with communication between staff, residents and families. I am kept informed at any changes. I go home knowing
she is safe and I don't worry about her anymore.

My mum has been a resident at Ghyll Royd for over a month now. The whole team on Blossom have been welcoming and keen to learn her likes, dislikes and care needs. She settled in really quickly. The team clearly work well together and the residents feel like part of a family. I would recommend Ghyll
Royd as the carers really do care about the residents. My mum isn’t in the best of health, so if there is any cause for concern, the team act straight away and keep me fully informed. A special mention to three members of staff, in particular, who have shown a genuine concern for Mum’s welfare. They offer comfort when she is anxious and struggling. They manage to get my mum smiling with their positive approach and she is very settled and calm in their company. I highly recommend this home.

We could not have chosen a better care home than Ghyll Royd for my father-in-law. He was welcomed into Ghyll Royd like a member of the family, as we were too. The care he received on Beech, the dementia unit was second to none. He was treated with such love and kindness by every member of the team.
We could not have got through the final days of his life without the truly amazing team on Beech. We will never be able to thank them enough for all the love and care they gave both him and us as a family. He died peacefully on 10th November.

My mum was a resident until sadly passing away recently. I visited her almost every day and was always greeted with courtesy, updates on her health and with friendly banter from the nurses. My mum was always treated with kindness and compassion if she was feeling unwell, and made friends of the staff
and nurses. She was loved by all, who looked after her and she loved them too. Unfortunately, she wasn't able to walk due to an arthritic knee but tried to remain upbeat. She didn't have much of an appetite but the nurses tried to encourage her to eat and most days the chef catered to her preference. All in all, although Mum did yearn to go home, Ghyll Royd was the perfect nursing home and it has been a godsend she was cared for so professionally and gave us peace of mind.

Ghyll Road cared for my mam for a year. She needed nursing care, suffered from dementia and needed assistance with all aspects of her life.
Ghyll Road provided this care brilliantly up on Rowan Ward, and thanks to all the staff for that. The care was not easy - she could be difficult at times.
Her
care at the terminal stage was exemplary. The staff assisted us at every turn. She passed peacefully under expert care.
Thank you, forever grateful.

I transferred (from another care home) my father to Ghyll Royd at the end of September 2023. All the staff are welcoming and friendly. I feel confident that should any issues or concerns arise, I am able to approach the team. They will listen and together plan a way forward if at all possible. Excellent
leadership - a shining example of what a care home should offer. My dad is comfortable, safe and contented.

My partner has been a resident at Ghyll Royd for 18 months. I have always been impressed by the level of care and the friendly helpfulness of the staff. I am content that my partner is as happy and comfortable as possible. The building has recently been refurbished and has comfortable lounges, pleasant
individual rooms, a conservatory and outdoor seating areas, much used in the recent good weather. I would particularly praise the following - the reception team have always been extremely welcoming and helpful in a cheerful and efficient manner. The activities team are untiringly energetic and caring, providing a wide range of activities every day of the week, plus room visits. The high standards owe much to the leadership style of the manager.

The care and compassion shown towards my mum and our family in the time she was at Ghyll Royd was outstanding. The last few weeks of her life were made easier for us by the kindness of all the staff. Everyone who I encountered there always had a smile and time for a chat. Mum's care was exceptional

Management could not have been more helpful and kind. My mother has had eight months of palliative care here and enjoyed the pink ladies and their wonderful activities. She had excellent carers, so kind and gentle. The room was clean and bright. The housekeeping and laundry staff are very caring. She
had made new friends and was loved by all she met. Nursing care is excellent and professional, there are not enough words to express how thankful I was for the home, staff and experience at the end of her life.

The care my husband received has been excellent. He was treated with kindness and respect throughout his ten-week stay. From management to housekeeping, I cannot fault the care. Simple things matter, and everyone, as they passed the door, smiled at him and said "hello", even though he couldn't reply
due to a stroke. On his final day, I was there all day, and everyone came to see him that worked on that floor and treated him with the utmost respect on his passing. Thank you.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.796)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.796) out of 10 for Ghyll Royd Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 39 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 39 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 4.796 for Ghyll Royd Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (366 Excellents x 5) + (82 Goods x 4) + (2 Satisfactorys x 3) + (2 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 452 Ratings = 4.796

  • 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 Ghyll Royd Care Home is based on 39 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 76 registered maximum number of service users is 15.2, which has been reached with 39 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.

Hello, I am Sarah, I have been a Senior Carer at Ghyll Royd Care Home since December 2022.


I have been working as a carer for 3 years now and work very efficiently. I believe it is a privilege to be able to work in a large team of highly skilled experts and such a caring, friendly and compassionate team who never fail to put residents first. I am committed to delivering a high standard of care, bringing joy, and comfort and honouring the dignity of residents within the home.

Job Title: Activities Coordinator

My name is Kim Knaggs and I'm an Activities Coordinator (Otherwise known as a 'pink lady').


My role is to help residents to access activities in groups or to take the activity to them individually.


I love to make a difference in someone's day, make them laugh, smile, enjoy themselves and try something new.


It's important to be there to listen to residents and their families too - I like to think I'm very approachable.


My love of dogs and dog rescue can combine with work when I bring in dogs for pet therapy.
