Live-in Companion for Elderly in Ireland: A Trusted Homeshare Option

Introduction

Are you worried about an elderly parent living alone? Many families across Ireland are searching for a safe, affordable way to bring peace of mind. A live-in companion for the elderly can provide reassurance, friendship, and support — while helping older people remain independent at home.

At Elder Home Share, we’ve been matching families with trusted companions for10 years. And as Fiona, whose mother was recently matched with us, explains:

“After our father passed, our mother, who is in her eighties, was living alone. As the days became longer, the nights began to feel unending. We contacted Saoirse for help…”

Why Families Look for Companionship

Families often come to us because:

• They want an elderly parent to have company and reassurance.

• They want someone trusted in the home, but don’t need full-time nursing care.

• They are exploring alternatives to costly live-in care.

  
  

Fiona remembers the relief she felt after reaching out:

“Swiftly and without stress our mother was introduced to a companion. It has been nine months since she came into our mother’s life. She has brought such peace of mind to our entire family…”

Live-in companionship helps older people remain independent and supported in their own homes

What is Elder Home Share?

Elder Home Share is a homeshare service, not a care agency. We carefully match older homeowners with responsible, reference-checked companions who need accommodation. In return, companions provide:

• Company and conversation

• Help with light daily tasks

• Reassurance for the family

  
  

It’s not professional nursing care — but it is a complement to care, offering comfort, presence, and independence.

As Fiona says:

“Knowing that someone kind, attentive, and capable is there providing a reassuring presence throughout the night has made such a difference. The care and companionship have been amazing.”

Why Elder Home Share is Different

• Currently free for families in high-demand housing areas.

• Trusted process — reference-checked companions, 10 years’ experience.

• Award-winning — recognised by Social Entrepreneurs Ireland.

• Complement to care — fits alongside family and professional supports.

  
  

Fiona puts it best:

“She has given our mother the feeling of independence and the ability to remain living in her own home, which she so badly wanted.”

A Family’s Recommendation

Fiona closes with words that capture what Elder Home Share is all about:

“We wholeheartedly recommend Elder Home Share to anyone seeking thoughtful, reliable companionship for their elderly loved ones. Thank you so much Saoirse for your help and kindness. Happy Tenth Anniversary and best wishes for the next ten years.”
