Think Local Act Personal

An arrangement where someone who needs some help to live independently in their own home (the householder) is matched with someone who needs a place to live in return for the help they can provide (the homesharer). Homesharers help around the house and provide company, but do not provide personal care. There are homeshare organisations in a number of areas to match up householders and homesharers.
