Spellman Care Celebrates Professional Success as Robee Gelido Appointed Ghyll Royd Home Manager
Ghyll Royd Care Home has announced the appointment of Robee Gelido as its new Home Manager.
Robee’s vision for Ghyll Royd is to further enhance the home’s established “residents-first” philosophy by deepening its roots within the local community. While Ghyll Royd has always been a warm and welcoming hub, Robee aims to expand these connections even further into the heart of Guiseley and Yeadon.
By opening doors to local groups and nurturing ties with neighbours, he intends to create even more meaningful opportunities for residents to engage with the local area. This includes enriching the home’s vibrant schedule with new collaborative activities, guest talks, and social links with visiting volunteers, ensuring residents continue to feel active, valued, and connected.
Robee’s journey is a shining example of the professional growth nurtured within the Spellman Care family. Joining the team in June 2022 from the Philippines, Robee arrived as part of the group’s highly successful international recruitment programme. Starting as a Senior Care Assistant progressing to Registered Nurse and subsequently Unit Manager of Beech, the home’s specialist dementia community.
“I am so honoured to lead the incredible team here at Ghyll Royd,” says Robee Gelido, Home Manager. “My goal is to be a reliable, steady hand for our residents and their families. At Ghyll Royd, our residents have always come first, and I am committed to upholding that standard every single day. I believe in maintaining a service that is modern and proactive, but most importantly, transparent. I am incredibly keen to build even stronger connections within our local community so that everyone—whether they are a current resident or a neighbour—feels supported and at home here.”
“As a family-run company, we are so proud of Robee’s dedication,” says Steven Spellman, Director of Spellman Care. “Our recruitment initiative was designed to find the very best talent and provide the support needed to flourish. Robee’s journey from Senior Carer to Home Manager is a testament to how this programme allows staff to develop their professional training and build a lasting career with us, all while maintaining the highest standard of care for our residents.”
To meet the community personally, Robee will host his first ‘Resident and Relative’ meeting this Thursday, 19th March. With an ‘Open Door Policy,’ he also welcomes any members of the Ghyll Royd family to come forward at any time with ideas, questions, or just a friendly hello.
