Rivendale Lodge endeavour to offer the best respite care available, whereby clients can join our friendly communal atmosphere for a shorter period stay.

We understand that respite is needed for different reasons, though regardless of duration, we will offer the same level of services and professionalism as we would when admitting a regular client and, of course, would complete the standard requirement for a pre-assessment of need.

Understandably, despite the very best of intentions, respite care cannot always be guaranteed. As a general rule, we cater for respite periods of at least one week’s duration, although please feel free to enquire if you have any other requirements. We will always try our best to help.
