Lightshare is a Homeshare provider that specialises in matching Householders who need support at home with live in Homesharers. Householders are usually older individuals, older couples or adults with a disability who would benefit from some practical help.

Homesharers are carefully selected and vetted individuals who are willing to provide support for Householders (10 hours each week) in return for low cost accommodation. Our Homesharers are caring and helpful individuals and are usually young professionals or students.

The type of support you can receive is dependent on you and what you would like the Homesharer to help with. Typical tasks Homesharers help with include shopping, cooking, cleaning, technical support, help with pets, help with appointments and companionship.

Homesharing is a great way to increase social interaction and offers peace of mind knowing that someone is present overnight. Homesharing can also offer relief to carers.

Our Homeshare Co-ordinators will visit once a month and can feedback to family members if required.
