Homeshare is a local authority scheme that supports people to remain living independently in their own homes for longer by reducing loneliness, social isolation, and the need for formal care services.
This is achieved by carefully matching householders with approved Homesharers who live in their home and provide companionship and practical support. Homesharers contribute around around 10 hours per week of non-regulated support, which may include:
In return, Homesharers benefit from affordable accommodation and a meaningful living arrangement that brings benefits to both parties.
