SHS THE HOMESHARE COMPANY LIMITED BY GUARANTEE

SHS The HomeShare Company Limited by Guarantee runs THE HomeShare, a pioneering home‑sharing scheme that enables vulnerable adults to remain safely in their own homes for longer. By matching Householders – people with a spare room who need companionship and a nightly presence – with Garda‑vetted Homesharers, the service creates a mutually beneficial arrangement: the Homesharer provides at least five to six nights of overnight presence each week, together with ten hours of practical support such as household chores, shopping, gardening and meal preparation, while receiving free accommodation in return.

The model is carefully tailored to each household, with matches based on support needs, shared interests and personality. THE HomeShare oversees the whole process, offering ongoing monitoring and support throughout the arrangement, and ensures that all participants understand the limits of the service – it is not a substitute for personal care or professional live‑in carers. Testimonials from Householders, relatives and Homesharers across Dublin and beyond highlight the scheme’s impact on security, peace of mind and financial freedom, underscoring its value as a cost‑effective, community‑focused alternative to traditional care options.
