Support at home through housing in exchange for services

The situation of disability in France

In France, 12 million people (OCIRP) are affected by a disability, representing 20% of the population. This figure could approach 40% when considering temporary disability situations. 

There are different types of disabilities which are classified into 5 major categories: motor disability, sensory, psychic, mental as well as disabling diseases. 

Moreover, according to the study conducted by Statista, the citizens most affected by disability are those aged 35 and over. 

These people with reduced mobility are often more likely to live alone. 19% of people with a disability would be in this situation.

Home help and disability 

Home help for disabled people offers several advantages.
Indeed, for people with physical difficulties, having home help from a professional can generate high costs. It can be a disadvantage for them to leave the family home and they therefore cannot become independent due to lack of means. 

Offering an available room at home in exchange for personal assistance could be a convincing alternative for both parties. On the one hand, the Host could take flight and reassure those around them by having someone available to help and support them daily, at a lower cost.
On the other hand, the Co-resident is hosted by helping a person in need. A beautiful sharing of human values! 

ToitChezMoi encourages personal assistance! 

ToitChezMoi can then be an interesting alternative. Indeed, the platform allows housing sharing in exchange for presence or services. As a leader in housing for services, the site connects Host-hosts with available rooms and a need for services with supportive Co-residents offering their help in exchange for accommodation

Thus, both parties simultaneously find an advantage in this concept.  On one side, the Co-resident can live for free at the person's home, providing daily support and assistance. On the other side, the disabled person benefits from constant support at home, which facilitates their daily tasks, sometimes difficult to perform without assistance.

ToitChezMoi reconciles everyone's needs in a spirit of solidarity and sharing.
