Find a Trusted Home Share Companion for Your Elderly Parent

Peace of mind for older people means being able to remain in the comfort of their own home, with the reassurance of a kind and trustworthy presence. Elder Home Share carefully matches elderly homeowners with responsible, reference-checked accommodation seekers who become their live-in companions. These companions provide friendship and light support in exchange for a place to live, helping older people feel safe, supported, and less isolated. To mark 10 years in business, we are delighted to share a special offer: in areas of high demand for accommodation, homeowners can currently avail of free access to the Elder Home Share service, with the added benefit of receiving a €50 monthly contribution from their companion toward household bills. With a trial live-in month, monthly check-ins, and full reference checks, you can be confident your loved one is well looked after. Garda vetting is also available if desired.

“Inspired by my own grandmother, I founded Elder Home Share in 2015. From the start, our mission has been simple: to support older people to live independently at home while offering affordable accommodation in Dublin to carefully chosen companions. What began as a personal mission has grown into a social enterprise with a clear community purpose - a trusted and cost-effective service across Ireland, helping families, older people, and companions alike to thrive. In 2018, this work was recognised with a Social Entrepreneurs Ireland Award.”
