Home sharing is a mutually beneficial arrangement that can enrich the lives of both the home provider and sharer. Based on the principles of kindness, connection and reciprocity, it is a way to widen horizons, meet new people and create intergenerational friendships.
Our home share program matches seniors who need a little help to live independently at home home provider with a carefully selected, compatible companion who needs housing home sharer.
In return for low-cost accommodation, the home sharer provides 10 hours of support per week to the home provider. Home Share is a concept that has been around for many decades. It originally started in California in the s and is now a popular shared accommodation option for seniors in the USA, UK, and parts of Europe.
Home share programs are growing in Australia and Shared Lives is the first social enterprise to specialise in home sharing for seniors.
