I explore the enriching concept of senior home sharing, a housing arrangement where seniors open their homes to younger individuals. This innovative solution offers a range of benefits, including companionship, cost savings, and support with daily activities.
Drawing inspiration from Chapter 5 of my book, we delve into platforms like Nesterly, Senior Home Sharing, Silver Nest, and Center of Concern. These platforms facilitate mutually beneficial living arrangements that can enhance the quality of life for both seniors and younger housemates. We discuss how this arrangement suits independent seniors and outline when the involvement of certified caregivers is necessary.
Throughout the episode, you'll learn about the practical aspects of senior home sharing, such as sharing chores, daily activities, and even transportation. Whether you're a senior looking for a meaningful living situation or a younger individual seeking life experience, this episode provides valuable insights and practical advice.
We'll also highlight the importance of having a clear agreement, whether formal or informal, to ensure expectations are met for all parties involved. This episode promises to guide you through the potential of senior home sharing, offering a roadmap to a richer, more connected life.
Remember, taking care of yourself is crucial, as it enables you to care for your loved ones effectively. Join me next week for another insightful episode!

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
