new platform “Joey” paired a college student needing housing with a senior couple. DW has EOAD and DH still works. Student can work off some of the rent with chores. It seemed to work out well for this pairing

    Nice. I haven't seen the article yet, but I know having my young-adult son in the house was very helpful to me even though he wasn't helping directly with dh's care.

    That is a good thing. As long as the student has good qualities, does well in school and is very respectful.
