Low cost accommodation in Bathford Bath BA1

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

She would value the company of having someone living with her and giving her some friendly company. She would also value some general practical help around the home such as picking shopping, cooking up to four or five meals each week (the lady eats her main meal at lunch time, or early evening), light cleaning and tidying (and helping manager the ad hoc cleaners when they come), taking out bins and organizing recycling, prompts and reminders, accompanying on a few outings, and ad hoc other practical help and errands as may be needed, while helping the lady to remain as independent as possible with things she does do, can do, and that she enjoys doing.

The accommodation on offer is a single bedroom with wardrobe, its own toilet/sink, and shared use of the shower room, kitchen, sitting room and garden.

The property is in Bathford, just to the NE of Bath. There is a bus stop 100m from the house, with regular buses taking just 20-30 minutes to Bath Spa Railway and Bus Station. It is just off the A4, and there is off street parking if a car driver.

The lady is a Christian and would enjoy Sharing her home with someone who is also a Christian. She used to be a professional pianist and still plays, including jazz, hymns and music from the 40s/50s. An ex PE teacher she used to do Tai Kwon Do, and played tennis, and still enjoys watching tennis and skiing. She has done some art (drawing/sketching0 and used to enjoy crosswords although she finds this harder now. She enjoys being active and outings such as occasional visits to the local pub, or to go shopping for example. She loves company.
