Ghyll Royd Care Home was acquired by Tony Spellman in 2001 and has since established a reputation for providing a calm and stable environment in Guiseley. Tucked away in a wooded area, the home is a place where residents can enjoy the natural surroundings and local wildlife. The home is unique in the area for offering both residential and nursing care under one roof, providing families with the reassurance that their loved ones can remain in familiar surroundings even if their needs change over time.
The care provided is rooted in the idea of continuity and comfort. This is particularly evident in the dementia communities, which feature identical layouts across different floors to help residents feel settled and secure. The team focuses on the small details that make a difference to daily life, ensuring that every person is treated with respect. Being a family-run home, Ghyll Royd maintains a direct, personal connection to the community it serves.
Part of the Spellman Care, Ghyll Royd benefits from being part of a group that views its residents as an extension of the Spellman family. The group’s philosophy is built on three core values — voted for by the residents and staff themselves — which ensure that kindness, dignity and compassion are at the heart of everything they do. This family-led oversight ensures a high level of accountability and a genuine commitment to quality of life.

Our impressions are of dedicated, calm, and professional staff efficiently caring for residents with mental illness and mobility problems. We were regularly informed by the nurses as to why different medications were being prescribed by the doctor. When my wife was refusing to eat, the staff never gave up and tried all sorts of ways and ideas to try and entice her to eat and drink. The staff’s patience, friendliness and kindness made my wife’s four months stay extra special by going above and beyond in the excellent care, understanding and support they provided. They were always caring and understanding towards our family too, being most professional, kind, and supportive especially on difficult days. When we telephoned, the person answering the call always talked knowingly about my wife and her condition at the time. In conclusion, a Big Thank You “Keep doing what you are doing as we know how vital your roles are in helping your residents and their families in the hardest times of life”.

I always knew I wanted to be a nurse. After receiving a diagnosis of diabetes at a young age and spending significant time in the hospital, I found myself deeply moved by the compassion of the nurses who looked after me. They inspired me to turn my own patient experience into a lifelong career dedicated to helping others, and I have never looked back.
My journey began with 14 years of dedicated service within the NHS, which provided me with a strong clinical foundation before I transitioned into the private sector to manage day surgery. For the last 15 years, I have committed myself entirely to social care, progressing through roles as a Unit Manager, Clinical Services Manager, and Home Manager. This varied background has given me a 360-degree view of what excellent care looks like, and I was thrilled to bring that experience to the team here at Ghyll Royd when I joined in February 2026.
What I enjoy most about my work is that no two days are ever the same. The fast-paced nature of a care home keeps me motivated, but it is the ability to make a tangible difference in the lives of our residents that truly drives me every day.
When I am not at home, I love to escape the busy nature of work by spending quality time with my children and my family. You will often find us out in the fresh air, enjoying long walks with the dog and making the most of our time together.
