Welcome to Ghyll Royd Care Home
An Introduction...
Acquired by Tony Spellman in 2001, Ghyll Royd became the second home to be operated by the Spellman family, carrying forward our dedication to creating a truly welcoming environment.
Situated in the desirable Aireborough town of Guiseley, the Home is celebrated for its ideal balance of convenient location and peaceful surroundings.
The Home is well-situated near local shopping centres and the excellent transport links of Guiseley Station, making it a preferred option for residents from Guiseley, Yeadon, Rawdon, Horsforth, Ilkley, and the wider Leeds area.
Ghyll Royd benefits from exceptional natural access, being close to the stunning beauty of Nunroyd Park and Esholt Woods. The grounds themselves are surrounded by trees and woodland, where you can regularly spot squirrels running across the lawn, along with the occasional deer—contributing to the Home’s calm and tranquil atmosphere.
In 2023, Ghyll Royd marked a pioneering achievement by becoming the first Spellman Care home to offer both residential and nursing care under one roof with the launch of Blossom, the homes Residential & Memory Lane Community. This development allows us to provide truly flexible, person-centred and person-led care as residents’ needs change.
To ensure seamless continuity for our residents, the Residential & Memory Lane Community and Dementia Nursing Community are ideally situated directly above and below one another. They offer residents an identical environment on both floors, meaning someone with memory problems can rest assured that if their needs develop, they can stay settled in a familiar setting when moving from Residential to Dementia Nursing care.
The Care We Offer...
Ghyll Royd is divided into four thoughtfully designed communities—Willow, Rowan, Beech, and Blossom—with each area fostering a safe and positive environment. Our commitment is to ensure the transition to care is as comfortable as possible, supported by our homely atmosphere.
All our bedrooms feature en-suite lavatories and a high-quality, stylish finish. Residents are strongly encouraged to personalise their rooms to ensure their space truly feels like a home from home. Our communal areas are bright, spacious, and thoughtfully designed to encourage comfort and social interaction.

What Our Regulators Say...
Meet Claire, our Home Manager...
I always knew I wanted to be a nurse. After receiving a diagnosis of diabetes at a young age and spending significant time in 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 the 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.
