Low Cost Accommodation in West Wickham, BR4

An active and friendly older lady with memory problems 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 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 around the home such as shopping, cooking and sharing some meals each week (usually 4), light cleaning and tidying, accompanying on some outings – such as for a dog walk or to the cinema, and ad hoc practical help and errands as may be needed.

The accommodation on offer is a large bright bedroom, furnished with a double bed, wardrobe, and drawers. The bathroom (bath and separate shower), kitchen, sitting room and garden are shared.

The property is located in West Wickham on the outskirts of Bromley. West Wickham Station is less than 15 minutes’ walk away and there are good bus routes into Bromley, Beckenham and Hayes.

The lady loves dancing music, lunches out, reading, socialising and walking her dog. She has a very friendly well-trained dog (a Cockerpoo) who she loves, so a dog-lover is essential. Her daughter lives nearby.

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 tell us a little information about yourself, your hours of availability, 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 (£65 per month).
