Low Rent for Care Package of Retired Gent

We are looking for a caring, mature, calm preferably female lodger to reside with and offer company, care and support to our friend, now in his latter years and suffering from early onset of Alzheimer's. Preferred times for help would be for 2 hours each morning 9 - 11 am. You will be residing in his 3 bedroom end of terrace home which is warm, tidy and homely with a garage and large rear garden. This will NOT be a normal Assured Periodic Tenancy but a lodging arrangement with the home owner himself. We are his friends and trying to assist in finding someone suitable to care for him in his home. My wife and I reside some 100 miles away so can only offer occasional help.

He is a lovely, helpful and once active, fun-loving gentleman who thrived on meeting people, dancing and the joys of life. Sadly, he's had some cognitive decline but still shows regular signs of his former self. He can manage most tasks independently, bathing, washing and dressing but does occasionally have some confusion that requires a level of patience and explanation, mostly around his keys, phone and daily meds.

He desperately wants to remain in his own home, with a level of independence. He does have family within a 10 mile radius who visit regularly and oversee important matters such as doctors appointments and financial matters. They now feel he would benefit from good regular company, someone to lend a caring hand with overseeing daily chores, regular cooking, cleaning, shopping and some ironing totalling not more than 15 hours per week

He has a lovely garden and anyone wishing to grow their own produce could utilise this for much better use or assist in keeping it tidy and attractive.

This would ideally suit a semi or fully retired, more mature lady although we would consider all other options male or female, if you feel that you could assist and are looking for good quality accommodation, in a family size home in Wyke Regis area of Weymouth

Please contact Steve in the first instance. There are no bills to pay, council tax is included and the low rent reflects the level of assistance required
