Age UK Oxfordshire’s Homeshare service carefully matches older people who are looking for help or companionship at home, with another person who can lend a hand, and needs affordable accommodation. In return for the accommodation the Sharer gives the Householder up to 10 hours of their time each week as a combination of companionship and practical help. Each Homeshare match is individual and carefully agreed.

About Homeshare
Homeshare helps people to stay independent in the places they love to live and builds community connections. It is a mutually beneficial arrangement with both people having something they need and something to give.
Homeshare brings two people together to share a home; typically, someone who needs help to live independently in their own home (a householder) is matched with someone who has a housing need (a homesharer). In return for affordable accommodation, the homesharer provides around ten hours of support per week to the householder.
