About Pinelodge Care Home

Pinelodge is a nursing home in Stevenage, Hertfordshire. We care for adults who need registered nursing alongside help with daily living, including older people, people living with dementia and younger adults whose health needs call for a nurse on duty at any hour. Nursing cover is what allows us to look after people whose needs are genuinely complex. It means managing medication, skin and pressure care, continence and nutrition, and keeping a steady eye on health so that changes are picked up early rather than becoming emergencies. Where someone is nearing the end of their life, it means we can keep them comfortable in familiar surroundings with people who know them, rather than moving them on. Clinical care is only half of it. It is easy for a nursing home to become a place where everything is done to people and nothing is decided by them, and we work against that. Residents choose when they get up, what they eat, whether they join in and who visits. For people living with dementia we keep the day in a familiar order, keep the staff group as consistent as we can, and take time to learn about a person's earlier life, because it explains a great deal about how they are now. Respite and short stays are available, including after hospital. Please ring us to arrange a visit to Pinelodge.
