THE HomeShare (Together Helping Eachother) is an Irish company, based in Dublin, founded and run by Lucie Cunningham who has long experience working in the health care sector. It launched a homeshare programme in Dublin in 2017, with the aim of reaching the whole country in time. Homesharers must be at least 18 years old. THE HomeShare offers a personal matching service, where both householder and homesharer is interviewed, homesharers are vetted and both parties are provided with ongoing support.

John (86) was matched with Amy (27) by THE HomeShare

An additional technology based homeshare matching service is also available in Ireland. Elderhomeshare was Dublin’s first homeshare service, using online resources. It was founded in 2015 by Saoirse Sheridan who came up with the idea when she was given notice to move out of her rented accommodation. Read how the programme works at www.elderhomeshare.ie
