Senior Home Sharing Information

The need for affordable senior housing in DuPage County continues to expand. The population of seniors 60 and older has increased twenty-four percent in the last ten years. The number of seniors is predicted to continue to increase dramatically over the next two decades, highlighting this housing gap. Senior Home Sharing is a not-for-profit organization dedicated to helping meet this need for affordable senior housing by providing a shared housing option. Homes are located in Lombard and Naperville, Illinois. Senior Home Sharing’s mission is to provide seniors with an opportunity to live independently in an affordable family style home. Each residence has its unique characteristics, but all provide a warm, comfortable, family-focused home including private bedrooms for six to seven seniors, the services of a live-in manager, and three home-prepared meals a day. Seniors have exclusive use of a private room and furnish it with their own belongings. Common areas of the home such as the kitchen, living room, family room and deck or patio are shared by the residents. All of the homes are located within residential neighborhoods and are close to shopping, parks, senior centers, libraries and community services. Our lowest monthly fee is $1200 with average fee of $1600. Life enrichment opportunities abound, with many residents enjoying active lifestyles including work, volunteering, and pursuit of a variety of hobbies and interests. Many people come and go throughout the day, including family, friends, visitors, and volunteers who often help our residents pursue their passions.
