Low cost accommodation in Benfleet SS7

An older person who is anxious and lonely is seeking a Sharer for their home to offer a mix of 15 hours’ help and company each week in exchange for the low-cost accommodation.

They would value the friendly reassurance and company of having someone around their home in the evenings and overnight. They would also like some general practical help around the home such as occasional shopping, light cleaning, any other ad hoc practical help and errands as may be needed. There is a cleaner who visits once a week.

The accommodation on offer is double room with own bathroom.

The property is 2.3 miles 6 mins drive to Benfleet Station, local buses close by and 15 mins to Benfleet Station

This person enjoys watching Strictly Come Dancing, gardening, painting, flower arrangement and playing cards and scrabble.

As a Sharer you are free to work or study as long as you have enough spare time 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 person’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.
