Female Sharer Sought for Stanmore, Middx
Available from: July/August 2019
Homeshare Location: 10 minutes walk to Stanmore Underground Station (Jubilee Line)
What the Opportunity entails:
Our Homeowner is a sweet and lovely lady in her early 90’s and a native French speaker. She is looking for a kind, caring, female Sharer to share her home in return for providing some practical support and companionship.
Our Homeowner has lived in the UK for a long time and has had an interesting life. She has a fairly busy schedule and enjoys regular activities during the week with her family, including her grandchildren. She also enjoys going to lectures, to various classes, playing cards with friends, and going to the opera.
Her well maintained, secure flat is in a quiet, residential road close to excellent bus and tube links in to central London. The spare room is a large double bedroom with a single bed, washbasin and plenty of wardrobe space, and you would have your own toilet and share the main bathroom. There is wifi in the flat.
In return for the low-cost accommodation, you are asked to provide around 10 hours of practical support and companionship to the Homeowner each week, and the reassurance that she is not alone at night.
The practical support would include preparing and sharing together three meals each week (this could be lunch or dinner), some light housework, ensuring that there are always basic groceries in the home and reminding her of her daily activities and schedule.
Companionship time might involve, for example, playing cards, doing a puzzle together or some art, watching TV, or just chatting and interacting.
Cost: £199 per month
This is the Homeshare monthly facilitation cost for our service. You do not pay rent to the Homeowner although you may be asked to make a small contribution to household bills.
