| Homeshare Scheme | |
|
West Sussex is
pioneering a scheme in which older people provide a much-needed
home to people who give them help and support in return. There are many older people living alone in the County whose family and friends are too far away to give them the help, companionship and security they need. At the same time the high cost of housing has made it difficult for people such as care workers, teachers or students to find suitable accommodation. Called Homeshare, this is a scheme where a householder offers a homesharer free accommodation in exchange for an agreed level of help with daily tasks such as cooking, cleaning or gardening as well as companionship. It allows the homesharer to save money by not paying rent and allows them to live in an area they might not otherwise have been able to afford. Homeshare puts the householder and the worker in touch with each other. Before a match is made and homesharing takes place the Homeshare Co-ordinator interviews and checks both parties. It’s only when they are sure that both parties will be suitable for the arrangement that they are introduced to each other. The co-ordinator also provides ongoing help, support and advice to both parties. West Sussex is one of only two areas in the country which have been selected for this pilot scheme. The scheme is funded and run by National Association of Adult Placement Services (NAAPS) in partnership with Adults’ Services. It will be evaluated by Oxford Brookes University. |
