It's companionship in exchange for housing - but how does it work? via IrishTimesHome
So, having studied entrepreneurship at college, she decided to give it a go as a business and made her first “match” in 2016.
“Companionship can mean putting the bins out, providing a secure presence at night, sharing a meal twice a week, sitting down for tea and a chat, or going for a walk,” says Sheridan. “It’s not just about coming in the door, doing your own thing, then going out again.” Once both parties are happy to proceed, they sign the Elder Home Share agreement. The document which has been reviewed by A & L Goodbody solicitors is designed to be protective of all parties outlining house rules and expectations. While Sheridan is available to help both parties with a new situation if their arrangement doesn’t work out, the home-share companion is entitled to a minimum of one months’ notice so they can find alternative accommodation.
“Companions really are the chosen few,” she says, noting that it can be asking a lot of an 80 or 90 year old to share their home with a stranger.When Mariana was looking to move to Ireland from Greece, she was keen to come to Dublin, but “it was impossible for me to find a house because the rent was really expensive, more than €600 for a room” she recalls.
