Homeshare – Golders Green, London NW11
We have a lovely new opportunity to live comfortably and affordably in north London, in return for providing some practical support and companionship to an older lady.
Available from: May 2022
Homeshare Location:
Only 1-2 minutes walk from the shops and cafes on Golders Green high road, and only a few minutes walk to Golders Green Underground station (Northern Line) and buses into central London.
Accommodation on Offer:
A large room with double bed, chest of drawers, single wardrobe and new carpet in a well maintained two bedroom flat. Shared use of newly refurbished shower room, also kitchen, living room and communal garden. There is a fridge in the bedroom and freezer space available in the kitchen. There is Wifi.
What the Opportunity involves:
In return for the low-cost accommodation (£199 per month), we are looking to match our older Homeowner with a female Sharer, who is happy to provide some basic practical support around the home, a little companionship and most importantly a reassuring presence at night.
Our Homeowner is in her late 80s. She has led a very interesting life enjoying an international career over many decades and she has lots of stories to share. She has recently been diagnosed with early dementia and she spends the days with friends and carers, enjoying lots of walks and coffees, and going to the theatre occasionally, and to family for dinner.
We are looking to match our homeowner with a kind, mature and well-mannered person who is happy to offer a cup of tea and a piece of toast in the morning, and share a little time sometimes in an evening, to chat about their days. This would suit someone who is working outside the home (or flexibly) who will ideally sleep at the home every night, unless prearranged with the homeowner. No personal care is required or permitted.
Cost: £199 per month
This is a monthly facilitation fee for our matching and ongoing monitoring service. You do NOT pay any rent to the homeowner. Bills are included although you may need to make a small contribution to the homeowner if you are working.
