ELDER HOME SHARE LIMITED

Elder Home Share Limited is a social‑enterprise that matches older homeowners with vetted, reference‑checked companions who live in‑home, providing friendship, light support and a sense of safety. By pairing a trusted companion with an elderly resident, the service enables seniors to remain in the comfort of their own house while enjoying the reassurance of a reliable presence, reducing isolation and easing household pressures.

The organisation offers a complete, end‑to‑end process: a trial live‑in month, monthly check‑ins, full reference checks and optional Garda vetting. Homeowners in high‑demand areas currently benefit from free access to the service and receive a €50 monthly contribution from their companion towards household bills. In addition to matching, Elder Home Share provides guidance for families on how to introduce the concept, and publishes impact studies and a regularly updated blog on senior‑care topics.

Founded in 2015 and recognised with the 2018 Social Entrepreneurs Ireland Award, Elder Home Share operates throughout Ireland, with a particular focus on Dublin, delivering a trusted, cost‑effective solution for families, older people and companions alike.
