What is homesharing?

Homesharing connects trusted housemates with homeowners who want to age in place. Housemates provide up to 10 hours of weekly household support (depending on arrangement) plus reassuring overnight presence (5-6 nights per week) in exchange for significantly reduced rent and a welcoming home environment.

Types of Support Available:

Cleaning
Cooking
Yard Work
Shopping & Errands
Companionship
Pet Care
Tech Support
Home Maintenance
Transportation

Important: This program provides companionship and practical household support only. No medical care, personal hygiene assistance, or professional services are included. Housemates are not trained caregivers or medical professionals.
