Low cost accommodation in Bicester Oxon OX26

A with it older lady with reduced mobility and who is very deaf is seeking a Sharer for her home to give them a mix of 15 hours’ help and company each week in exchange for the low-cost accommodation.

This lady would value the friendly reassurance and company of having someone around her home in the evenings and overnight. She would also like some general practical help with things such as picking up shopping, cooking up to four meals each week, light cleaning and tidying, carrying heavier items, occasionally taking her elderly dog for a (very short) walk, prompts and reminders, and ad hoc practical help and errands as may be helpful.

The accommodation on offer is a furnished double bedroom with wardrobe, bedside table and dressing table, and its own bathroom, and shared use of the kitchen, sitting room and garden.

The property is in an excellent location very close to Bicester Village, just 15 minutes’ walk from the station, and less than 10 minutes’ drive from the M40 (Junction 9).

The lady enjoys reading the Daily Mail, watching TV (sport, dancing), crosswords, and pottering in the garden. She used to enjoy growing her own fruit/tomatoes and watching the birds and squirrels.

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. There is an elderly dog so an animal lover is essential.

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.
Please note clear spoken English is essential as this lady has to lip read.
