Staying with a senior, for free or moderate rent, everyone wins.
First of all, housing or intergenerational housing. It designates a set of housing designed to accommodate different generations. Like students, families, and the elderly.
Then, the intergenerational roommate, or senior roommate. This consists of offering young people, students or apprentices a room against a presence or a service with one or more seniors.
Finally, intergenerational cohabitation consists of accommodating different generations under one roof. Usually one or more elderly people welcome another person, whether a student, employee or other, free of charge or for a moderate rent, in return for various services rendered. For example offering a presence or listening but also helping with gardening or small jobs & crafts.

On the one hand, the elderly person, Host must provide an independent room with the required comfort entirely reserved for the guest.
On the other hand, the student or traveler agrees on the hours and days of presence, any services, the price of the room or charges. Host and host must above all share a state of mind: values of conviviality and solidarity which make the success of the package.
