We are delighted to offer a lovely new Homeshare opportunity for a kind and caring sharer to live affordably (£199 pm) and comfortably in a convenient and quiet residential part of north London in return for providing some practical support and friendly companionship, and an overnight reassuring presence to an older lady in her 80s.

What the Opportunity involves:

Our homeowner, who is in her early-80s, was until very recently a live-in companion and friend herself to an older woman for many decades until she passed away a few months ago. She has had someone staying with her since who will soon be returning to her home abroad and our homeowner is concerned at the thought of living all by herself.
She has a good support network who keep in touch and visit regularly but she would like to share her lovely home for some mutual companionship, a small bit of help, and the overnight reassurance.

Originally from Switzerland and bilingual English French, she has lived in the UK for over 60 years. She is gentle and sweet, easy-going, warm and caring and loves company. She is in good physical health and is still driving. However, she has lost some confidence in recent months and is less keen to go out, preferring to spend her days watching television, doing word searches and playing games on her iPad.

This is a lovely Homeshare opportunity for a kind, compassionate, caring and reliable female (this is our elderly Homeowner’s preference), who is working or studying mostly or partly from home, and who would like a quiet, safe, clean place to live. Someone who can be a friendly face around to say hello in the mornings, who would enjoy chatting with the Homeowner over a few evening meals, and sharing some time watching some television together in the evenings or playing a game.

Practical help will include offering the odd cup of tea, picking up some local shopping, cooking some simple fresh evening meals and helping with the odd IT issue but this is mainly about companionship, being a warm presence in the house, sharing some time together and providing overnight reassurance.

*No pets please* * Non-smoker only*

We are looking to match this Homeshare opportunity as soon as possible. If it is of interest, please get in touch with us telling us about yourself, your work/study situation, and interests, and particularly why you consider that you would be well suited. Thank you.
