Homeshare – St Albans, Hertfordshire

We are delighted to offer a new Homeshare opportunity for a suitable sharer to live comfortably and affordably in the heart of St. Albans, in return for providing some practical support and an overnight reassuring presence to a couple in their 80s.

Available: End October 2024.

Homeshare Location:

The home is situated in the centre of the town by St Peters Street, next to the shops and cafes on the High Street and great transport facilities.

Accommodation on Offer: 

Large and cosy double bedroom, shower room and toilet and use of separate living room. Shared kitchen and garden. There is Wi-Fi.  [Photos to follow].

What the Opportunity Involves:

In return for the low-cost accommodation (£199 per month), we are looking to match our homeowners with a younger sharer who is happy to provide some practical support and a reassuring presence overnight.

Our homeowners live quite a quiet life, spending most of the time at home occasionally going for local walks. They are well travelled and both had academic careers.  The lady is a writer and historian, still fit and active and sociable. She also cares for her husband, a sweet and friendly chap, who has vascular dementia which affects his short-term memory and mobility.

This opportunity would suit somebody who has their own life, whether working or studying, who can provide peace of mind to our homeowners and their family that there is another adult presence in the home at night. Someone who would enjoy cooking and sharing the occasional meal and who would help with odd jobs around the house such as putting the bins out, changing lightbulbs and IT support would be appreciated. No personal care is permitted.

The ideal Sharer would have a bit of flexibility in their schedule to be around on some evenings or the occasional afternoon.

A non-smoker please, and no pets.

We are looking to match this Homeshare opportunity very soon, so if it is of interest, please get in touch with us asap preferably by email, and tell us about yourself, your work/study schedule, and why you would be well suited to it.

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 be asked to make a modest contribution to the Homeowner towards the energy bills, and council tax if you are working.
