We match older people looking for companionship and support
with vetted compatible live-in sharers seeking affordable accommodation
Homeshare Scotland provides a service which brings together two individuals who can support one another with the aim of improving quality of life. An older person who would like some companionship and help at home is carefully matched with a younger person who can provide this help, companionship and the reassurance of an overnight presence. The younger person benefits from a safe and comfortable place to live, significantly reduced bills and a new friend. The agreement is designed to be beneficial and considerate to both parties while also offering a sense of reassurance and security to families and loved ones.
There are so many great reasons to host a sharer in your own home.
This can be a very rewarding living arrangement with many benefits.
