Homesharing: how social exchange helps elders live at home

NL Danigelis and AP Fengler
Department of Sociology, University of Vermont, Burlington 05405.

Social exchange theory is used to analyze the relationships in traditional and caregiving homesharing arrangements. Satisfaction with basic money and service exchanges is high among the majority in both arrangements. In traditional matches, client satisfaction is also related to life style fit, amount of social interaction desired and received, and amount of lodger access in the provider's home. In caregiving matches, satisfaction is also related to the intensive interpersonal relationship developed between sharers; stress is a particular problem for the caregiver.
