The lovely Odele who lives at Water Royd had the best girls shopping trip with Lyn our Head housekeeper and Joe our Business Administrator. Odele wanted to freshen up her new room and pick her own interior accessories and colour scheme. Lyn and Joe went along with Odele to help her pick out her new accessories.

Our maintenance man Lee also did a brilliant job painting her room, mirror and upcycling her photo frames to all match, great job Lee.

Afterwards they went to Rob Farm shop and Odele bought her favourite dessert, a Manchester Tart.

Odele loves her new room and is really looking forward to having her grandchildren come to visit as her new room is much bigger.
As you can see they had the best time and Odele's room is now beautiful and fresh, incorporating greens, Odele's favourite colour

Exercising has so many benefits, the number one is of course keeping fit and healthy, but the fun, social side is just as rewarding. We had such a laugh doing our More...Movement exercises this morning with our Lifestyle Co-ordinator Chloe!

On Wednesday we visited Kelham Island Museum in Sheffield with Myley tours.

Kelham Island Museum is the story of making in the city, from master craftsmen to mass production. We saw how life and work was during the Industrial Revolution, followed the sights and sounds of progress through the Victorian era and the Women of Steel and learnt all about the River Don engine, which is the most powerful working steam engine in Europe. With a staggering 12,000 horsepower, it enabled the huge mill to roll steel plate up to 40cm thick and 50 tons in weight.

Derek, Chuck, Denise and Barbie had a great morning out and really enjoyed seeing all the wonderful history of Sheffield. It was a very wet and cold morning but we soon warmed up at the 'Joni Cafe' where we enjoyed a hot drink and dessert.

What a brilliant start to January we've had at Water Royd, enjoying our live singers, pamper sessions, gents club, Karaoke party's and so much more! Here's a few photos of what we've been getting up to.

We absolutely love music at Water Royd, may that be singing on the karaoke, enjoying our Water Royd Choir every Monday morning or singing and dancing along to the entertainment that we have each week. Music really does helps us to feel good, brings More...Socialising and a great way to get us all moving.
Fantastic to see family members joining in our karaoke sessions, please keep a look out for posters on our display boards advertising the next date and time for our karaoke party! 💙

Don't forget about our Gents Club that we hold every Thursday afternoon 2-4pm, its such a lovely atmosphere and we've had some great feedback, come along enjoy a game of pool, cards, dominos, darts, a good natter and a beer!

Water Royd Christmas party day 2025 🎅

What a fantastic Christmas and New Year we've had at Water Royd over the last few weeks. Party day is always madness, but that's how we like it, each year it seems to get busier with family and friends coming along to join in, which we love to see.

Special thank you to David who once again took time out to come along and be the best Santa for all the people living at Water Royd, their family/friends and their children, it's always a pleasure David, we do appreciate you, thank you.

We couldn't have the best Christmas party day without our wonderful staff who each year put so much effort into their costumes, with the hardest part.... trying to keep it a secret until the day, which some colleagues find very difficult!

Chloe and Lyn made a beautiful snow castle grotto that our residents and family members loved, we used this for our photos and family members had pictures took with their loved ones.

Christmas dinner was stunning as always, Andrea and her team delivered the most delicious 3-course meal, with so many compliments from residents and family members, great job everyone!

Lastly but certainly not least a special thank you goes to our entertainment, Dominic who sang some great Christmas songs, got everyone involved and made the atmosphere fun and festive.

Barbie who lives at Water Royd has a wonderful son, Mick who is very talented and plays the Saxophone, Mick kindly said he would love to come in and play for everyone. He was brilliant, everyone said how much they loved listening to the sound of the Saxophone and having a dance. Thank you again Mick, we really enjoyed having you perform.

All in all a brilliant day, thank you to everyone that makes it happen. We wish you all a very Happy New Year 💙

We had a lovely day visiting Barnsley Christmas Market on Monday and getting into the festive spirit. The mulled wine went down a treat as did the mince pies. Barbie, Shirley, Betty, Eileen and Joan had great fun singing Christmas songs for passes by in the indoor market which made them smile! Everyone really enjoyed looking at the market stalls and the beautiful Christmas decorations 🎄🎅
