Home sharing might be the perfect solution for two people with different needs – an older person who needs a little help and someone looking for low-cost accommodation.
The householder provides a bedroom and shared facilities free of charge to the sharer, who will carry out agreed household tasks when they get home from work and sleep in the home overnight.
This arrangement, organised locally by Homeshare West, might be suitable for people who feel lonely, have disabilities, or want to help younger adults.
It brings security, independence and the potential for a lasting friendship.
Sharers are mature, responsible people who want to make a difference in their community while developing their careers.
It might be viewed as an opportunity to contribute their time, skills, and energy to help the householder.
Sharers are carefully vetted by Homeshare West.
All arrangements are fully supported by experienced Homeshare co-ordinators and costs are minimal.
