Help for Elderly Parents in Ireland: A Real Story of Companionship and Care

When your mum or dad begins to feel lonely or needs a little extra help at home, it can be hard to know where to turn. Many families across Ireland search for “help for elderly parents in Ireland” or “companionship for older people” because they want their loved ones to stay safe, comfortable, and connected.

At Elder Home Share Ireland, we make that possible. Our Homeshare service carefully matches trusted companions with older people who would benefit from company and light support. It’s a simple, affordable alternative to care homes — and it changes lives for both families and companions.

How Homeshare Works

Elder Home Share connects older homeowners who would benefit from a friendly presence with responsible companions looking for affordable accommodation. It’s a relationship built on trust, support, and shared purpose.

As one of our companions Rakshita, recently said,

“The whole experience was very fulfilling and meaningful.”

That’s what Homeshare is all about — meaningful connection that makes everyday life brighter and safer for older people, and deeply rewarding for those who share their home.

Reassurance for Families

If you’re like many families we speak to, you might worry about safety, reliability, and finding the right person to help your mum or dad. That’s completely normal.

At Elder Home Share, we guide every match — from screening companions to arranging introductions and ongoing support. You’re never left to figure it out alone. Rakshita goes on to say.

“Sharing a smile at home — a real story of companionship and care through Elder Home Share Ireland.”

“Saoirse was incredibly helpful and always available whenever needed, with regular monthly check-ins that made the process smooth and reassuring.”

Those words mean everything — because they reflect what we want every family to feel: reassured, supported, and confident that their loved one is in good hands.

Support You Can Trust

Elder Home Share is built around safety and structure. We:

• Carefully reference check every companion.

• Match personalities and lifestyles for harmony.

• Provide monthly check-ins and ongoing support, ensuring everyone feels comfortable.

That same companion summed it up perfectly:

“Saoirse was always available whenever needed… it made the process smooth and reassuring.”

Those regular touchpoints are what keep every Homeshare match thriving — because we know this is about real people and real peace of mind.

A Meaningful Solution for Families in Ireland

Families often contact us looking for:

• Help for elderly parents in Ireland who want to stay at home.

• Companionship for older people who live alone.

• Affordable home support that isn’t a care home.

  
  

Our companions aren’t carers — they’re friendly, trustworthy people who offer presence, reassurance, and everyday help. It’s about dignity, independence, and connection.

Or as our companion said,

“I couldn’t recommend Elder Home Share enough, especially for someone compassionate and caring — it’s truly a rewarding opportunity.”

That feeling of reward goes both ways — for companions, and for the families who see their loved ones happier and more connected than they’ve been in years.

A Safe and Heartfelt Choice

Homeshare works because it balances care and independence. It’s not just about help — it’s about human connection. When you know your parent has someone kind sharing their home, chatting over tea, and looking out for them, it brings enormous peace of mind.

If your mum or dad could benefit from companionship and light support at home, Elder Home Share Ireland is here to help.
