Low cost accommodation in Fittleworth nr Petworth

A warm and friendly older person with 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 is well-supported during the day but would value the friendly reassurance and company of having someone around their home in the evenings and overnight. They would also appreciate some light general practical help around the home such as picking up shopping, cooking a few meals, helping keep the house tidy (they have a cleaner), occasionally pushing in their wheelchair, and ad hoc practical help and errands as may be needed.

The accommodation on offer is furnished double bedroom with fitted wardrobes chest of drawers and its own bathroom (bath with shower over bath) and shared use of the kitchen, sitting room and garden. There is also an annex with a piano that the Sharer would be welcome to play.

The property is in the lovely village of Fittleworth, approx. 2.4 miles from Pulborough Station. There is parking.

The person enjoys doing jigsaw puzzles and playing games – including Scrabble, Halma, Rummikub, Querkle – as well as watching some TV, enjoying a chat and going to church.

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.

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.
