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.

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.
