Sharing your home can provide you with a sense of security, a feeling of companionship and the practical assistance with household tasks to make life that little bit easier.
In return for their own private bedroom, homesharers provide you with 10 hours a week of assistance around the home and your community.
This could include help with maintaining the cleanliness of your home, assisting you to make a healthy lunch or transporting you to GP appointments and social engagements.
You are always in control of your homesharing experience. You decide what tasks you would like your homesharer to do and you set the house rules. It's your home after all! Tell us your thoughts and we'll find a homesharer compatible with your needs and lifestyle. After all, it's no good having someone up all night if you're an early bird!
Your homesharer will become your friend, they are not paid to be there, neither are they contracted to stay. Homesharers often choose to homeshare for reasons of companionship, maybe some stimulating conversation, peace and quiet or a well maintained home where they can feel safe. Whatever their lifestory, you can be reassured that they will be caring people, matched and vetted by Homeshare Leicestershire, wanting to respectfully share your home, have some fun and create some happy moments together.
Homeshare works best when friends and family support with the experience. We encourage supporter involvement in the matching and introduction process and ask them to keep in touch with us to ensure robust monitoring of the homeshare.
Homeshare Leicestershire provides continued support from hello to goodbye via regular in person visits to the property and phone calls. We also have a dedicated phone line or text service accessible 24 hours a day to support our homesharers whenever they need a listening ear.
