HOMESHARING

Homesharing is an arrangement where two or more unrelated people share a home, each having his or her own private space and some common living areas.   No two homesharing arrangements are alike.  They vary according to the needs, time and abilities of the people involved and the location of the home to be shared.

Typically, a student or person working outside the home is matched with a Home Provider and brings the comforting assurance of having someone in the house at night.  This person will either work 12-15 hours a week doing household chores such as cooking or shopping, in exchange for free room OR do less service and make a small contribution to household expenses OR do no services and pay rent in the range of $250-$300 per month.

LIVE-IN CAREGIVING

A person assists a frail elder or person with a disability with non-medical personal care, such as bathing, dressing or walking. Caregivers also provide companionship and assist with homemaking services, such as shopping, cooking and household chores.  In turn, the caregiver receives a weekly salary, room and board. The person receiving care, not HomeShare Vermont, is the employer.

HOURLY CAREGIVING

HomeShare Vermont matches frail elders or persons with a disability with paid non-medical caregivers that do not live-in.  Hourly Caregivers provide the services listed under "Live-In Care" above.  Again, the person receiving care is the employer, not HomeShare Vermont.

HomeShare Vermont is a member agency of United Way of Chittenden County, Vermont.
