Water Royd House Nursing Home

from Mick B (Son of Resident) published on 16 January 2026 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Water Royd look after my mum with great care - shes not the easiest to deal with as her vascular dementia means that her mood is up and down - but despite this the staff always know the best approach to use with her. Activities are varied and stimulating and the food is great, appetising and nutritious.
The facilities and rooms are good and always kept spotlessly clean. This is a great place to live for anyone who needs care in later life.
Reply from Catherine Smith, Home Manager at Water Royd House Nursing HomeThank you so much for the lovely review of Water Royd House. It will be great to be able to share these reviews with the colleagues who work there, who take the utmost pride in offering the best care possible.

I would just like to thank Water Royd for taking care of my wife I unfortunately could no longer look after her at home due to demensia getting worse. She as settled in more than I expected. All the staff are always helpful and I can see they care for my wife and treat her with respect. The entertainment
program is really good and keeps her busy she as even been taken into town to the Christmas market she may not remember but I do and appreciate it so much. The food is excellent and she enjoys it so much she always as extras.

Staff at Water Royd House could not have done anymore to look after my uncle. If they were concerned about anything they told me as soon as I entered the building. The food was excellent and very good quality. They kept the home extremely clean and looked after my uncles cleanliness with dignity and
care. They were especially fantastic with my aunt when she visited, she has dementia and they treat her with great affection and care as though she was a resident. Thank you all at Barnsley you could not have done any more.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
After my mum having restbite in one care home then permanent in another we as a family felt totally let down. Mum moved into Water Royd in the middle of Nov 2025 the difference in my mum within days was astonishing she changed dramatically. She went back to her smiley happy self she made friends instantly.
Mum suffers from Alzheimers/dementia and we really thought she would struggle with the change but no the change was definitely for the better. The staff are amazing not just nurses and carers every single member of staff is approachable friendly and answer any queries we have. There are things to help keep stimulated which she needs as previously she was constantly bored. The entertainment provided is brilliant having singers twice weekly and a full activity calendar. We are so happy that there was a room available for mum at Water Royd

As a visiting professional to this care home for many years, I have always found the home so friendly and welcoming, both to myself and to the residents and their families.
The staff are always on hand when needed and they know each and every resident that lives there and makes time for them all. It
is clean and homely and the activities that are offered are brilliant. It is a fantastic care home.

After the scandal from the state of care homes pre-COVID covid I was very sceptical about my mum being taken out of hospital for end-of-life care. After first visiting Water Royd and subsequently having my mum placed there, my fears were completely dispelled. My mum got the care she deserved during
her short time she was there.

Our father was a resident from 19/03/25 to his death on 08/07/25. Throughout that time he received excellent care and was treated with warmth and understanding throughout. During our frequent visits we witnessed the care given to other residents and it was without exception always kind and caring. Thank
you to everyone for looking after him so well.

My mum went into Water Royd House for palliative care and was in for the last 5 weeks of her life. The care she received was outstanding from beginning to end and I have nothing but praise for the wonderful staff who looked after her. Mum and I were treated with kindness and compassion by everyone and
I highly recommend Water Royd House.

My husband was in a hospice 11 weeks. He has terminal stage 4 prostate cancer and parkinsons. I was asked to look for a nursing home. Water Royd House was the third one I looked at. My husband was only there for nine days. The nursing care was excellent. The support and care we received was special
from all the staff. We his family were there at the end of his life, most of the day. I thank you so much for all you did at this very sad time. Thank you.

My nanan became bed bound after contracting sepsis in December. Her memory started to fluctuate, and she became very confused. I went to Water Royd, hoping they could help stimulate her. The manager & staff greeted my nanan on arrival, and she was introduced to staff and those living there. The hairdresser
was there and offered to wash, cut & blowdry my nanan's hair. She then had lunch with everyone and said she wanted to go back very soon. Thank you everyone. This may become permanent in the near future.

For the first time in a long while, I can relax and feel confident that my husband is safe and well cared for. The staff are very friendly and obliging and make the place feel like a home from home. My husband is encouraged to participate in all activities, but never forced to do so. He is not a good
mixer and does need that extra encouragement. The standard of care is very good as is the cleanliness of the home in general. A welcoming atmosphere for everyone.

Absolutely excellent in every possible way. The staff were brilliant all of them. So polite, friendly and genuinely caring. My husband felt safe and properly looked after from the moment he went into the home. He started to improve in his health from the moment he went in. I cannot recommend this care

I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Water Royd House Nursing Home to anyone looking for a home which provides superb care for their relative, a home which has a permanent staff who are so personable and who work so effectively to ensure that each resident is cared for very well. My husband has been a resident
for over three years and I am satisfied that he is well looked after, kept clean and comfortable, provided with suitable entertainment and is as happy as he can be, given that he is now in the latter part of his life. This is a home which is well managed, which is full of caring people who do a superb caring job.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
Mum has been in Water Royd since June 2024, the care Mum has received from all the staff has been outstanding. Mum has been cared for with kindness, dignity and respect.


Moving Mum into permanent care was heartbreaking for all the family, Mum has advanced dementia, she became agitated, frightened

and very distressed most of the time, now she has constant reassurance and expert care which means Mum is content and importantly, feels safe.


Mum is always lovely and clean, and dressed in matching clothes, clearly Mum's dignity is important to the staff. All the staff are friendly and approachable, they always have time to listen to any concerns, and answer any questions with kindness and care. The laundry and cleaning staff do a great job, and the food is excellent. All the staff talk to Mum with kindness and respect.


Water Royd is like a family home, the care is outstanding, we can't say thank you enough for caring for Mum with such care, kindness and compassion.
