Low cost accommodation in Penge SE20

An interesting older person with severely sight impairment and reduced mobility 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 really benefit from some practical help including picking up shopping, making a few evening meals, light help around the home, help with reading instructions, light gardening and ad hoc errands, plus the friendly reassurance of having someone around their home in the evenings and overnight.

The accommodation on offer is a furnished double bedroom, shared bathroom and use of the kitchen and sitting room.

The property is just 5 minutes’ walk from Penge East and 10 mins walk to Kent House and Penge West Railway station’s

The person is friendly and sociable and independent. They are interested in the arts, listens to the radio (talks shows) and podcasts plus audio books. Has lived in Portugal and France.
