Uniquely adaptable
Share Home can support people in different life situations:
For those feeling lonely, a shared home can provide companionship and a sense of connection, helping to reduce social isolation.
For individuals who need light support, such as help with shopping, cooking or day-to-day tasks, having a sharer around offers practical assistance.
For people no longer feeling safe living alone, due to health needs or early stages of frailty, it provides a safe and lower cost living arrangement without the need to move into residential care.
For people in hospital it can support hospital discharge, helping people return home sooner and provide a long term supported solution at home.
Share Home is a WIN-WIN
Not having family and friends living nearby or able to visit regularly can lead to a sense of social isolation for the older generation. For older people looking for company, support and reassurance, the current opportunities available usually only bring temporary relief and can be very costly, no matter if you’re a homeowner or a renter. But at Share Home we help solve these problems by bringing people together and forming a successful and rewarding home life.
