Homeshare with older person in Summertown, Oxford

Would you like to share the lovely Summertown home of a welcoming, young-at-heart older person?

The Householder, in her eighties, is a ‘people person’ and very much enjoys and values the younger generations. She has had a full and varied life and has a very supportive family. Family, friends and fun are all very important to her. She has been active in her friendly community and is also very involved in a national initiative which helps reduce loneliness and encourages young and old to share experiences and stories. Other interests include theatre, cinema, writing and people, especially children.

The reassurance of there being someone in the house at night is a key requirement of this Homeshare. Help with shopping and local errands would also be appreciated as would someone who could provide straightforward help with IT (iPad) from time to time. Someone who would also enjoy having a chat at the kitchen table, in the garden, spending a bit of time together in the evenings, maybe watching a film or tv programme, would be the right person.

A car driver, with their own car, would be ideal as the odd trip out to the countryside, or lift to family living locally would be a real bonus. The Householder is in good touch with her family which comprises of four generations and who are looking forward to being able to visit more often again.

This Homeshare would suit a young person who mixes well with people and who may share some of the Householders interests. Someone who is aware, has a sense of fun and who would be good company. Personality is more important than politics in this instance.

The Householder has had two vaccine jabs but is still being cautious in the light of Covid-19. The ideal Sharer will also have been vaccinated or is planning on being vaccinated (which Homeshare may be able to help with) and their lifestyle would be low risk in terms of exposure to the virus.
