Homeshare is an established shared living programme which has been running successfully in the United States, across Europe and in Australia for over two decades. A single older person provides a younger person with accommodation with their own room In return for the accommodation the younger person (homesharer) helps with household tasks for up to 8 hours a week. An Enliven Homeshare Coordinator carefully matches both the older person and the younger person, After interviewing both parties and checking the younger person's references, both parties are introduced to each other. It is a safe service - all care and attention is taken to ensure a good 'match'.
