I am looking for a live in companion to help me with my household chores. Lost my wife of 65 years and I am too tired to live alone. Will pay for services rendered.

The original posting by Bert was back in 2011, chances are he either found someone to help with the household chores or he has moved onto a retirement village. I don't know too many single women Bert's age who would want to be a companion plus be his housekeeper. It's either one or the other.

Bert: first let me say that I am sorry that you lost your wife. 65 years of marriage is long time,and I am sure we all understand how lonely you must feel.

It seems you are rather computer savvy (bravo) so do a search for 'live-in' companions using Google or any other search tool. That should help.

Post something on your facebook page. You can make all sorts of contacts on facebook! Go to communities centers, and help out. Who knows, maybe you will find someone there?

God Bless.

Most of the people here are caregivers, caring for their own family or spouse, but we all can certainly understand your loneliness.

Sorry, I didn't mean to imply you were ready for a senior citizen home. I think I used the wrong term - maybe it is not assisted living, but maybe it is active adult community, where they have housekeepers and a community dining room and pools, movies and entertainment and go out on trips to theater, etc. If you lived in the same community with other active adults maybe you could find a companion with the same interests. Maybe some on this site can tell you about them if they have family members living in them. But, if you prefer to stay in your home, good luck in your search! You may want to Have whoever you consider screened by getting a background check report for criminal record, etc.

Ellelenn, I read his profile... he filled it out like he was on a dating website :0

I don't know why this posting was recycled, someone answering must have found it under "Forum Topic" which is up on the blue bar at near the top of the page under the header "Caregiver Forum".

Hi Bert,
Maybe you can contact your cities Area of Aging services and they might be able to find out other seniors who are looking for a roomate. Seems that is what you are looking for and hot a home healthcare giver at this timeframe. I would find out by going to some Senior events or coordinators or churchs in the community if they have senior ladies looking for housing due to they cannot take care of an entire house any longer...just an idea. Keep us informed Bert of your quest!!!

Good Luck!
