The staff are also available to sign-post residents to local services and activities and are always happy to lend a friendly ear! For those who find they need more support, Royd Court provide a Well Being service. This can include doing laundry, ironing, domestic cleaning or going shopping. A companion call can also be arranged to have someone attend a medical appointment with you, if your family is not local. If care support is needed then this can be arranged through external agencies.
