Riverfield Lodge houses two very different units and they keep different hours. The rehabilitation side, for spinal and neurological injury, opens every weekday afternoon from 15:00 to 19:30, while the mental health side opens only on Wednesday evenings and at weekends. Nobody under 12 may visit either. The lodge sits on the banks of the Jukskei River in Fourways, and the setting is part of the treatment.
