Percentages are CQC scores from its newer way of assessing homes. ?
CQC scored 33 standards: 29 good, 3 exceptional, 1 below good. Use “See the breakdown” on each key question for its standards. ?
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 Everyturn, Pinetree Lodge is a nursing home in Gateshead with 34 registered beds. Its CQC registration covers older people, people with dementia, younger adults and people with mental health needs.
In February 2026, CQC gave it Good overall, and Good for each of the five key questions too. It was also rated Good at the inspection before, in September 2019. The typical rating in Gateshead is about 2 years old, so this one is fairly recent. Of the 33 standards CQC scored, 1 fell below good. The lowest was “infection prevention and control” (some shortfalls).
