What are the responsibilities and job description for the Live-in Caregiver and Roommate position at James Peth?
Roommate Opportunity with Discounted Rent
Location: Old Town, Fort Collins, CO
Rent: $500/month (negotiable for additional support)
Availability: April 2025
I am seeking a roommate to share a beautiful, modern 2-bedroom, 2-bath unit in the heart of Old Town Fort Collins. The rent is discounted significantly for someone open to living with a person with a disability and being available for occasional backup support or emergency assistance.
This is a great opportunity for someone looking for an affordable, well-located home with the added benefit of flexible arrangements for discounted rent. There is no caregiving requirement, but additional discounts or pay may be an option for those who choose to assist.
LOCATION:
A mixed-use building in Old Town, Fort Collins, Colorado, just one block from Washington Park and Lee Martinez Parks, and a mile north of Colorado State University on the Mason corridor, which has bicycle and pedestrian pathways, and just across the street from the Downtown Transit Center and public transportation—the Max bus rapid transit and other options going to Boulder and Denver. Fort Collins, Colorado was recently ranked the best place to live in the USA. It is a beautiful, modern, spacious, 95% furnished 1,056 square foot, 2 bed, 2 bath unit with secure entrances, exits, elevator, and underground parking garage (with storage and bicycle parking). The unit has high ceilings and large closets. A large kitchen, dining, living area separates master bedroom from second bedroom and bathroom, providing privacy. There’s a nice view – above the trees and most buildings – and large windows and a balcony, providing nice views of old town and the mountains! There’s a state-of-the-art kitchen with stainless steel appliances–gas stove/range, microwave, toaster oven, dishwasher, washer and dryer in unit, and central heat and air conditioning, ceiling fans, high-speed Internet, and Wi-Fi.
Optional Support Opportunities
While caregiving is not required, I offer further rent reductions or pay for assistance, such as:
- Covering an overnight shift (essentially sleeping and being prepared to respond to an emergency if needed).
- Helping with meals—this could include preparing and sharing a meal together. I bring cooking and nutrition knowledge to the table.
- Stepping in if my regular caregivers are unavailable (e.g., illness or emergencies).
Training is provided, and tasks are straightforward. This arrangement is designed to be flexible and supportive for both of us.
Ideal Fit
I’m looking for someone responsible, kind, and easygoing. The discounted rent reflects the unique situation, and I want this to be a mutually positive living arrangement. This could be a great fit for students, professionals, or anyone looking for affordable housing in an expensive area while building a meaningful connection.
- Rent: $500/month (negotiable based on level of support).
- Must be dependable and able to live in a shared space with respect and communication.
Why This Opportunity Stands Out
Living in Old Town Fort Collins at this rate is rare. This arrangement combines affordability with the chance to share a home with someone who values health, cooking, and good company. If you're interested in additional responsibilities, it’s an excellent opportunity to learn from someone with nutrition expertise and make a positive impact.
