Homeshare with an older person in Brill

Are you a kind, friendly person who would be happy to share the home of an older person giving 10 hours of your time each week as help/companionship in return for affordable accommodation?

The homeowner, who has short term memory loss, has always loved music and playing the violin - including in quartets with friends and local orchestras. She has always enjoyed the company of other people and interesting conversation about art, history and ideas in general. Painting and gardening are also interests. The Householder is very close to her family, some of whom live close by.

Some shared company and shared meals together would be much appreciated, along with some help with very light housework now and then. The reassuring presence of someone in the house overnight is important.

The lovely, spacious, light home is in the heart of the beautiful village of Brill, close to the Oxfordshire/Buckinghamshire border, a 25 minute drive to Oxford.

This would suit a friendly, kind and patient person who shared some of the Householder's interests. Someone who is understanding of, and sympathetic to, some of the challenges of living with short term memory problems is important.
