CQC hasn't inspected this home for more than 5 years. It re-inspects based on risk, so an old rating doesn't count against a home on this site, but it may not reflect the home today. ?
Run by Atlas Care Homes Limited, Aspen Court is a nursing home in Gateshead with 63 registered beds. CQC registers it to look after older people, people with dementia and people with mental health needs. The typical home in Gateshead has 40 beds, so this one is bigger than average.
Of the 6 closest rated homes, none is rated above it. It is one of 4 homes run by Atlas Care Homes Limited. 4 of those with a rating are Good or Outstanding. The kitchen has a food hygiene rating of 5 (very good), from August 2025. 84% of homes in Gateshead also score 5.

In December 2019, CQC gave it Good overall, and Good for each of the five key questions too. That matches its previous rating, from June 2017. At over 5 years old, this rating is older than most. 27% of ratings in Gateshead are as old (how rating age varies by council).
