Navigate Level 5 with Elder Home Share
Feelings of isolation and loneliness have been heightened due to covid, especially amongst elderly people living alone. Alone Ireland has concluded that 55% of their callers struggling with isolation during the lockdown was over 70 and cocooning alone. It's great to see how Elder Home Share matches have been able to navigate through level 5 time together. Our matches at Elder Home Share help beat the lockdown loneliness for our elderly.
Some of our adorable homeshare matches have been cocooning with each other through both the lockdowns this year. One match, in particular, has proven to be a source of inspiration and humour to everyone with their unique relationship and capacity to manage a difficult time with some good old fashioned laughter.

The most recent feedback from a family was wonderful to hear!. “Mum loves her new companion. She’s delighted having her around the house and feels very well cared for.”
