BENEFITS
HELP & SUPPORT
As a Householder, you will receive up to 40 hours of support around the house each month. This may include tasks such as cooking, DIY, doing the laundry, gardening, help with electronics, shopping and companionship.
SECURITY
Our Homesharers are carefully assessed and selected with confidence. They are able to provide a sense of security by keeping an eye on the Householder and providing them with overnight protection.
COMPANIONSHIP
Our team is passionate about creating long-term matches that are sustainable. By carefully reviewing your profile, we are able to match you with a Homesharer who has similar interests as you. They can offer companionship in the form of eating, cooking, socialising or watching the TV with you.
REMAIN AT HOME
Householders are often people who would have to consider moving into assisted living rather than live alone, but just having a Homesharer there gives them the support they need to remain in the comfort of their own home.
