Review from K R (Daughter of Resident) published on 10 February 2017 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
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.

Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
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.

This is a very busy care home with residents coming and going for many different needs and procedures. The staff members are very helpful and there are occasions when there are too few available and the staff are under pressure.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
I think the whole world should know the joy of Water Royd House. Amazing staff no matter of pay, grade or job role. My grandad is like a new man since receiving the excellent love, care and support of the team, that is lead so well by the management.
My words after 24 hours of my grandad being there
was WOW. I love to visit and being able to spend time in waterfall cafe with my family makes my grandad feel like we have been out some where really special.
Well done team Water Royd. And good luck to the nurse who has been nominated for the nurse if the year.
I think I should add that although the care at Water Royd may seem expensive compared to other homes you have to be in the environment to understand why. I would pay double.

Current Review Score: 9.6 (9.624)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.6 (9.624) out of 10 for Water Royd House Nursing Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.6 out of 5 from 23 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 23 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:

  1. 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months. The Average Rating of 4.624 for Water Royd House Nursing Home is calculated as follows: ( (188 Excellents x 5) + (69 Goods x 4) + (17 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 274 Ratings = 4.624
  2. 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 23 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    1. 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
    2. 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 23 Positive reviews. Points = 1
  3. When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
  4. If a Care Home does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
