Low cost accommodation in Wembley HA9

A friendly and ‘with it’ older lady is seeking a Sharer for her home to offer a little practical help and company each week in exchange for the low-cost accommodation.

She is quite independent, but due to age, reduced mobility and a few controlled health issues, she would value the friendly reassurance and company of having someone around her home in the evenings and overnight. She would also like some general practical help (up to 10 hours per week) around the home such as shopping, cooking a few meals, healp with light cleaning and tidying, carrying heavier items, and ad hoc practical help and errands as may be needed. (She has a cleaner).

The accommodation on offer is a single bedroom with wardrobe and desk, and its own bathroom, plus shared use of the kitchen, sitting room and garden.

The property is in a good location approx. 10 minutes from North Wembley Station in one direction and Wembley Central Station (Bakerloo Line, Lioness Overground, Southern National Rail) in the other. Wembley Central has many shops, and the home is also only a minute or two’s walk from the green spaces of a park.

A retired Occupational Therapist, the lady listens to music on the radio, is interested in news and current affairs and watches TV. She enjoys phone calls with her friends, and goes to church sometimes too. She likes eating Afro Caribbean food and spicy dishes.

As a Sharer you are free to work or study as long as you have enough spare time (up to 15 hours per week in a mix of practical help plus a little company) to give the agreed level of company and support. The ideal Sharer will be a positive, friendly, kind, helpful and reliable non-smoker who ideally shares some of the lady’s interests.

If you are interested, please email a little information about yourself, your hours of availability, if you can commit for at least a year, and why you are interested in, and think you may be suitable for, this share. We can then give you more details about this specific situation.

£165 per month plus contribution to household bills (£75 per month).
