Elderly Accommodation Counsel (EAC)

National charity that aims to help older people make informed choices about meeting their housing and care needs.

First Call – Red Cross Independent Living Service

For people leaving hospital, adjusting to life at home can be a difficult time. Helping someone get their essential shopping, pick up their prescription or get the heating turned on can make all the difference for them to feel safe at home.

Homeshare West

Homesharing matches someone who needs a small amount of help to live independently in their own home with someone who has a housing need and can provide appropriate support and companionship. The Householder provides a bedroom and shared facilities free of charge to a reliable younger adult, usually aged over 30. In exchange, this person will sleep in the home overnight and carry out agreed household tasks.
