Portlethen

The sheltered housing scheme at Glebe Court, Portlethen was built in 1990. It consists of 19 flats in a single storey block building and 3 cottages, with a further 12 link cottages owned by Aberdeenshire Council on an adjacent site. Communal facilities are available in the form of a residents lounge and kitchen, laundry equipped with tumble dryers and washing machines and two guest bedrooms for tenants relatives or friends to stay.

All properties have their own individual gas heating and there is a call system and fire alarm system throughout the scheme. Castlehill provides the Scheme Manager service for tenants living in the 12 Aberdeenshire Council cottages and tenants are welcome to use the communal facilities available.

The Resident Scheme Manager who lives at the scheme works in conjunction with the Relief Scheme Manager. They are on duty at certain times during the day and 'on call' during the night. When Scheme Manager staff are not on duty, support for tenants is provided through the Community Alarm scheme that can initiate appropriate action to assist.

Portlethen is conveniently situated to the south of Aberdeen with regular transport links to the city by bus and rail. There are a range of services and facilities available including medical practice, Post Office, dentist and various shops including a large supermarket within walking distance of Glebe Court. Leisure activities can also be pursued at the local community centre and all weather bowling green.
