How it works

How it works

The concept is simple. We help you to utilize a spare bedroom in your home to pay for in-home assistance and companionship. Instead of paying thousands of dollars out of pocket each month, we match you with a kind, dependable, and thoroughly vetted Housemate. They live in your spare room and in exchange for housing they provide three things:


  1. Companionship: By residing with you and using shared living areas, your Housemate offers regular social engagement. They are available to accompany you in various activities such as having meals together, participating in game nights, going for walks, or any other mutual hobbies, ensuring enjoyable and consistent companionship.

  2. Assistance: In addition to companionship, your Housemate provides 10 hours of practical help each week. This can include transportation, housekeeping, running errands, preparing meals, providing tech support, respite care, and other tasks to enhance your comfort at home.

  3. Safety: Your trusted Housemate serves as a vigilant presence, which can greatly alleviate stress and enhance your sense of security, especially with their overnight presence. They can assist in various situations such as responding to falls, identifying health and scam risks, assisting in emergencies, and offering support when interacting with contractors or delivery people.


Two-Week Trial Period: Before making a long-term commitment, you have the opportunity to experience this unique arrangement with a Housemate for a two-week trial period. This allows you to assess compatibility and witness the positive impact on your daily life without a long-term commitment.

A Review From One of Our Earliest Hosts

Live-In Companion Care for Senior
Live-In Companion Care for Senior

"Really happy to see my dad so well taken care of. I had to step away from as much daily care as I was doing with him and this really freed me up. I really enjoy getting the daily photos that show him smiling and eating right... and I can just tell that his mental stimulation and social connection has gone way up. Thank you Obi Helpers!"

More about Obi Helpers

Obi Helpers launched in late 2023 as the pioneer in connecting seniors with a Helper who provides assistance in exchange for free housing. With the soaring costs of in-home care, the platform facilitates the exchange of a spare bedroom for services, such as light housekeeping, transportation to medical appointments, grooming, bathing, and cooking. Ultimately, making quality in-home help that allows one to age in place affordable by creating a mutually beneficial living arrangement and fostering intergenerational companionship. 

Obi Helpers’ mission stems from the 79% of households headed by seniors that have one or more spare bedrooms available and the increasing rates of social isolation in among seniors.
