About the room
We are looking to purchase a 2 bedroom/2 bathroom condo at The News on Broadcast Hill complex. This will be for our 24 year old son who has a mild cognitive delay to be shared with a supportive roommate. The roommate will be paid to provide supports such as cooking together, spending time doing fun activities ie: bowling, swimming, ensuring he comes home and also that he gets to his day program. The complex has a pool, hottub, gym, party room and tennis courts. You will have your own underground parking spot. Essentially we are hiring for a responsible buddy for our son. We are looking for someone fun, responsible, a good communicator who enjoys spending time with our son. As he will be out of the home most of the day during the week, you can have a day job. We can also have him home a few nights each month and will also have respite workers take him to do fun things sometimes as well. He has built relationships with a couple respite workers so he will want to continue that and it will also give you a break.
