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
and I would highly recommend every aspect of this home. A lot of the staff became like family and I will miss them all. The family can't thank everyone enough.

My dad was at Ghyll Royd Nursing Home during the final few weeks of his life and we could not have been happier with the care and attention he received here.
Everyone was exceptional and I shall be forever grateful for this wonderful nursing home and its amazing staff.
They are all wonderful and helped

My auntie has now been a resident of Ghyll Royd Nursing Home for eight months. Her care has been very good. We visit regularly and have always found the staff friendly and welcoming. There are regular outings and activities which are structured to be inclusive to as many residents as possible. The home
is furnished to a high standard and the communal spaces are light and airy. I am very happy that I chose Ghyll Royd Nursing Home as it is a well-established house.

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.

Care and nursing staff very good and helpful.
Only negatives are room wasn't always kept as tidy as perhaps it could have been, bed left unmade. Food was ok, but being picky it might have been nicer to have had a bit more choice and some of it was a bit bland, though portion sizes were good.
Would've
marked four and a half stars if available.

I would definitely recommend Ghyll Royd Nursing Home. From my first enquiry visit, the manager was very helpful and supportive. Both the manager and her deputy took their time to explain everything clearly to me. Although my mum's time with them was short, we were made to feel very welcome and cared
for. All the care teams were friendly, efficient and kind. The manager stood out as an exceptional manager, using both her nursing background and empathy to personally help us through a difficult time. Thank you again.

Very attentive to her every need, ensuring she was comfortable and not distressed. The rooms are very pleasant

My husband has been at Ghyll Royd Nursing Home for just over two years and from day one, he's been treated with dignity and compassion. The carers and nurses are kind and polite and are always friendly towards him. He is always clean and well cared for with each minor problem dealt with quickly and
efficiently. He is well-fed and encouraged to eat and drink often (this can be a problem for him). I am so pleased I chose Ghyll Royd to be his home.

Overall Experience  Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5

My mother lived in Ghyll Royd Nursing Home for over ten and a half years, after she was discharged from the hospital at the age of 89, with high physical and mental care needs.
Carers and nursing staff provide professional, knowledgeable care enhanced by their friendly approach. Mum was also treated
respectfully and her dignity was maintained. Staff who have worked at the home for many years provide an important backbone of consistency.
The home works as a whole community. All the staff - housekeepers, laundry workers, receptionists etc. chat with residents and family as they go about their work.
Any health issues and proposed changes to the care plans are shared promptly by the unit nurse, who was always ready to discuss any of our concerns.
There is an excellent partnership with a local primary health centre, which enables timely access to consistent medical care.
In Mum's final days, the staff on the unit, day and night, were wonderfully kind and supportive to us as a family.

Our friend has been in Ghyll Royd for some weeks and has been treated with dignity and respect, unlike previous nursing homes she was in. The staff were always asking if we were okay.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.791)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.791) 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 42 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 42 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 4.791 for Ghyll Royd Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (394 Excellents x 5) + (88 Goods x 4) + (4 Satisfactorys x 3) + (2 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 488 Ratings = 4.791

  • 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 42 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 42 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.

Prior to qualifying as a Nurse at The University of Bradford, I worked for 10 years as a Senior Health Care Assistant in a health and social care environment (here at Ghyll Royd Care Home), caring for elderly people and people living with dementia.

I love my job and always strive to help in giving the residents the best quality of life possible! Having fun whilst maintaining dignity and respect is always the priority.

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.
