As your parents get older, you may be looking for support to help them in their daily lives: assistance at home, companionship, or help with tasks like gardening.

Home assistance: a high cost for retirees

Today, the average pension in France is around €1,256 per month. In this context, paying for home assistance can quickly become difficult.

For example: assistance twice a day and one calm night per week.

Weekdays: (2 × €21) × 5 = €210
Weekend: ((2 × €21) × 2) + 25% = €105
One night per week = €135
Total: around €1,350 over 3 weeks.

With a monthly income of €1,256, the remaining cost would be around €660. This represents more than half of the income.

An alternative: accommodation in exchange for services

Accommodation in exchange for services is a simple and cost-effective solution.

The idea is to offer a room to a guest in exchange for help and presence.

  • Reduce expenses
  • Ensure reassuring presence
  • Create meaningful human connections
