Low cost accommodation living in W2

A self-sufficient, kind and social older person with some short-term memory loss is seeking a Sharer for their home to give them a mix of 15 hours’ help and company each week in exchange for the low-cost accommodation.

This person would value the friendly reassurance of having someone around their home in the evenings and overnight. They would also like some general practical help around the home helping keep the immaculate property clean and tidy, prompts and reminders, picking up shopping if needed, cooking/helping to cook a few meals, carrying heavier items, accompanying on occasional outings and ad hoc practical help and errands as may be needed.

The accommodation on offer is a furnished single bedroom with its own shower room, and shared use of the kitchen, sitting room and balcony.

The property is in an excellent location off the Edgware Road, just 5 minutes’ walk to Edgware Road station in one direction and 12 minutes’ walk to Marble Arch underground station in the other. Very easy access to Oxford Street and the open spaces of Hyde Park. There are also many bus routes and local shops.

The person is Greek and loves gardening and cooking and making sure her home looks beautiful. They enjoy watching Greek TV in the evenings, and listening to music. They also love fashion and going clothes shopping, and occasionally to Ikea.

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.

£150 per month plus contribution to household bills (£60 per month).
