Care Homes Owned by Bridge Oak Care Homes in Nottinghamshire

I placed my elderly Dad in Rivendell for a four-week respite stay.

From our initial visit, through taking my Dad to look around to his arrival and subsequent stay, we were made to feel welcome and part of the 'family'.

I found every member of staff friendly, caring and professional. I had confidence in the care they were providing and genuinely felt they cared for dad while he was in Rivendell. Indeed, I felt many of the staff went beyond what you might expect to make both Dad and me feel comfortable.

The home is clean, modern and well maintained, it has lots of activities and many nice touches like the Friday coffee morning in a room that looks just like a cafe and visits out of the home.

I would definitely recommend Rivendell and should I need the support of a home again will go straight back to the home for support.

Thank you Rivendell team.

Staying at Rivendell enabled my daughter to have a holiday without worrying about me as I live on my own. We had previously visited the Care Home and it seemed to cater for all my needs. My stay was only for two weeks but I would be very happy to return. I treated it as a holiday for me with the addition of care.

My Grandma was a resident at Rivendell for 2 1/2 years before she sadly passed in August 2026. She had dementia. The care home and its staff were an extended family. They genuinely loved and cared about her and we could see that as her family. Grandma enjoyed her time there, lots of photos on socials showing all of the activities and smiling residents. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this home if you are having to make the difficult decision for your loved one.

I stayed at Rivendell View for a couple of weeks following an accident at home. The care there was excellent and the environment very clean and welcoming. The staff were very kind and patient to all residents and I felt safe and secure. Of course I hope I never have another accident but if I needed to I would have no concerns about going to Rivendell View again. If you are looking for a care home for yourself or a loved one I have no hesitation in recommending Rivendell View.

She subsequently came out so much stronger, stayed for another couple of weeks with me in Nottingham, where her independence continued to improved resulting in her being able to return home. Without Rivendell she would not have been able to do this, amazing. Thank you

Would highly recommend to anyone. Beautiful surround and facilities.

The excellent facilities offered by Rivendale is exceptional. The cleanliness and hygiene standard is always achieved to and above anything shy of a 5 star hotel. Thank you.

My mother went into Rivendell for 2 weeks of respite care. I had no problem with anything. Her complaint related to the food (too stodgy) mainly but that was to be expected. And loneliness - but she finds it hard to socialise, so again not unexpected.

My nanny has been in this place for 3 days and in this short time I've got my nan back. It is pure magic, she visited the salon, had afternoon tea and already made friends. All I can say is thank you.

A wonderful, welcoming care home.

The care taken with father in end of life stage was so genuine and heartfelt. He could not have wanted for more. He was spoke with respect and he dietary wished were accommodated irrespective of what they may be... the quality chef went above and beyond as indeed seems to be the ethos at Rivendell.

When I visit my friend I am always made to feel very welcome. The staff are friendly and answer any questions I ask about my friend. The home is very clean and comfortable.

Superb residence in all respects even in my 4 month stay. All residents very positive about the care they are being given

What a truly amazing team they have at Rivendell View.

All the staff are amazing and so patient with some very difficult residents. My Aunt was admitted on urgent respite care. Nothing was too much trouble. Her room rivalled those of a top-class hotel. The care she was given was exemplary.

It was my mum's moving-in day yesterday and the entire experience could not have been any better for her or me. The ethos of inclusivity, welcoming, and encouragement was evident throughout. Every member of staff was patient, kind, and understanding. Many residents made it their business to welcome Mum, introduce themselves, and invite her to join in. Her room is glorious, I echo all the reviews about the exceptional quality of the environment. The communication throughout the handover phase fills me with confidence too. Everything was at mum's pace and the balance between checking in on us and giving us space at this really difficult time was spot on. I am looking forward to seeing how my mum's physical health improves and how additional socialisation benefits her quality of life. Thank you for taking the time to check in on me and ask how I was, fully recognising the emotional impact that this decision was likely to have on me, whilst putting on a brave face for my precious mum.

Their communication with me is first class and I have always been kept up to date with every step of my Dad's care. He couldn't be in a better place.

I could not have picked a better care home for my Mother. Fantastic care home, with very friendly and helpful staff. I would highly recommend this place.

My Mum recently moved into Rivendell View. The environment is excellent, and the food is great. There is a lot going on to entertain the residents. However, what makes this home stand out is the staff. Each and every staff member have been helpful, kind, and considerate. They go out of their way to ensure residents feel part of a larger Rivendell family.

The client has been able to choose food and increased appetite.
