Turfhill Court, New Deer

Turfhill Court, Main Street, New Deer, was built in 1987. It comprises 12 two person, two apartment (one bedroom) flats, of which 6 are ground floor and 6 are first floor. Although the first floor flats have stair access, stair lifts are provided at each stair for access for the benefit of residents. The flats are located at the rear of the scheme.  In the building facing onto Main Street there are a number of communal facilities, including a residents’ lounge and kitchen, laundry, shower-room and disabled access toilet, along with a guest bedroom and Scheme Manager's office.

Electric storage and panel heaters heat all properties, and there is a Scheme Manager call system and fire alarm system throughout the scheme.

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 9.00 am - 5.00 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.

New Deer itself is a large village, with a Health Centre, chemist, chiropodist and hairdressers. There are also a church, bank, post office, supermarket, butcher and various other shops. For social activities, there is a Friendship Club every Thursday in the public hall and both indoor and outdoor bowling.

Public transport is available to Peterhead and Ellon, with connections to Aberdeen twice a day. .
