2026 Homeshare Impact Report highlights dementia
Share and Care Homeshare CIC, the largest homeshare organisation in the UK, has marked their 20th anniversary with the release of their 2026 Impact Report.
The report highlights how for 51% of people, dementia and memory loss is a key reason for a homeshare arrangement, with other reasons including reduced mobility (25%), eyesight problems (9%), depression and anxiety (7%), Parkinson’s disease (5%), and hearing loss (3%).
Caroline Cooke and Amanda Clarke, Directors of Share and Care Homeshare CIC, say:
“Over the past 20 years we’ve seen first-hand how homeshare can transform lives. Our 2026 report highlights that the primary drivers – particularly dementia, mobility challenges and loneliness – are exactly where compassionate, person-centred support is needed most.
With care costs escalating and less public funding available, families are searching for sustainable alternatives. Homeshare not only represents excellent value but works alongside existing care to help people remain safely in their own homes.”
