Top 10 reasons Home Share is good!

  1. The families of home providers can rest easy at night knowing their mom or their dad isn’t alone—especially during the long, cold Vermont winters.
  2. Home share gives young adults the chance to help someone who needs a little assistance around the house—and, gives seniors the chance to help in return, by providing pleasant, affordable housing.
  3. It’s nice to cook for and eat dinner with someone else. Seniors who need help in the kitchen can have someone cook for them so they eat more nutritious meals. Seniors who can still work miracles in the kitchen can share their food wizardry with a younger person.
  4. Help you can trust is nearby—in your home and at Home Share of Central Vermont.
  5. Many young people are saddled with college debt, and a home share arrangement allows them to follow their hearts with their career choices.
  6. The challenges of engaging in a new relationship can slow the aging process.
  7. Young people in a home share match can enjoy relationships with “grandparent” figures and benefit from their many years of wisdom.
  8. Home share equals affordable housing for many Vermonters.
  9. Young people can save money to someday buy their own houses, and home providers can get financial help to keep their own hard-earned homes.
  10. Home share means a person to have great chats with, learn new things from, and go on outings with. In other words, it’s fun!

Mom and Dad are both far less tense. In fact I think they're comfortable. Joanne's (the home seeker) 'just plain goodness' has brought a huge measure of assurance, maybe even serenity, to their lives, that I wish were possible for more people at their stage of life. end quote — Tom
