Foudland Court, Insch

The sheltered housing scheme at Foudland Court, Insch was built in 1984 and consists of 29 flats and 6 cottages located on either side of Church Avenue. In the main block building there is a lift access to both floors and there are also communal facilities including a residents lounge and kitchen. There is a laundry equipped with washing machines and tumble dryers and a guest bedroom where tenants' relatives or friends can stay for a small charge. All properties have electric 'Total Control' heating throughout, and a door entry system at the main entrance door restricts access to the building to authorised persons only. There is a Scheme Manager call system and fire alarm system throughout the scheme. A communal satellite TV reception system has also been installed.

We provide a Housing Support service 7 days each week at this scheme.   We employ a Manager and a Relief Manager to do so, and they are normally on duty each day from 8.30 am - 4.30 pm, with a one hour flexible break for lunch between 12.00 - 2.00 pm.   When staff are not on duty, support for tenants is provided by RCC/Community Alarm, whose staff can initiate appropriate action to assist.

In Insch there is a Post Office, and a range of shops including chemist and hairdressers. There is also a Health Centre and a small hospital with chiropodist, physiotherapist and hospital day care services available. The Bennachie Leisure Centre is located close to Foudland Court and for older people there is a Senior Citizens Club, Lunch Club and Caring Club.

There are good transport links from Insch as it is located on the main Aberdeen-Inverness railway line, and also has bus service links to other local towns and Aberdeen.
