Silver Suitemates connects retirees who have a room to share with those seeking an affordable, companionable place to call home.
Nearly 12 million Americans over 65 live alone. Many face rising costs, growing isolation, and safety concerns that could be eased simply by sharing a home with a compatible companion. Silver Suitemates is designed to make that connection — safely, affordably, and with dignity.
Daily social connection has been shown to reduce depression, improve cognitive health, and add years to your life. A housemate is more than a tenant — they're a neighbor who notices.
Sharing household expenses — rent, utilities, groceries — can save thousands annually. Homeowners offset rising costs while housemates find below-market housing.
Having someone under the same roof reduces the risk of undetected falls, missed medications, and delayed emergency response — leading causes of hospitalization for seniors living alone.
We're conducting a brief, anonymous survey to understand how shared living could improve senior health, safety, and quality of life. Your voice will directly shape the programs and partnerships we build.
