Do you sometimes wish you WEREN’T LIVING ON YOUR OWN?
Do you worry about security at night? You may feel isolated but reluctant to bother your family. You may miss seeing a friendly face every day and having a chat or a meal with someone who cares. Living alone can mean feeling anxious that you could have a fall when there’s no-one around to help. Many other people struggle with these same concerns.
Share Home is an excellent way to have companionship and social interaction while staying in a safe and comfortable home environment, enjoying your independence with professional support available anytime you need. Share Home has been created to bring all these things together for you at home and reduce household bills, enabling you to live the life that suits you. We really care about finding the right sharer for you and want you to feel safe, secure and happy.

Share Home is a WIN-WIN
Not having family 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.
