Eos Posted August 4, 2022 Share Posted August 4, 2022 We are considering finding a housemate for our elderly mother - pros, cons, experiences? Mostly for companionship, but also maybe a little driving and help with the dishwasher, going into the basement to get things from the freezer. We are asking local friends of hers and also looking at the rental wanted listings at a local medical university. Avoiding Craigslist. Thank you for any insight.

stephanier.1765 Posted August 5, 2022 Share Posted August 5, 2022 I think there was a thread here recently, or I was reading a news article 🤷♀️, where there are programs that match college students to elderly people exactly for the reasons you mentioned. I just Googled it and found the the article I was reading: https://www.washingtonpost.com/lifestyle/2022/07/15/multigenerational-housing-roommates-nesterly-senior/ Good luck on your search! It's such a great idea. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shawthorne44 Posted August 5, 2022 Share Posted August 5, 2022 I would have loved this when I was a college student. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
