How it works
A thoughtful approach to shared living
Finding the right home is about more than finding an available room. It is about finding an environment where you feel comfortable, understand what to expect, and feel confident about your next step.
Future Kindred homes
What Kindred is planning
The operating model is designed to make shared housing feel like a home.
Kindred plans to give residents their own space within a shared environment, with common areas for everyday living and clear expectations reviewed before move-in.
Your own space
Kindred plans furnished rooms, private or shared, within homes residents will share with others.
A home, not a facility
A kitchen people cook in and a living room people sit in. Ordinary houses on ordinary streets, meant to feel like it.
Someone you can reach
Each future home will have a person responsible for it. Repairs and questions will be Kindred's to organize, not a resident's to chase.
Room to belong
Nobody is required to be sociable, and nobody has to be alone either. That is the point of a shared home.
What we provide
What you can expect from a Kindred home
Each future home is planned to be furnished and prepared before anyone arrives.
Comfortable homes
Thoughtfully prepared homes designed to provide a comfortable place to live.
Furnished spaces
Furnished rooms and shared spaces help make the transition into a new home simpler.
Clear expectations
A successful shared home begins with respect, communication, and understanding what to expect.
Professional management
Kindred plans to maintain organized homes and give residents a clear point of contact.
The full list — utilities, appliances, kitchen, toiletries, bedding and the welcome pack — is set out on our homepage.
How the homes run
What you can expect from us
Each future home will have someone responsible for it, with a clear way to reach them.
A furnished home
Future homes will be prepared before residents arrive, with furnished spaces and the essentials needed to settle in comfortably.
Clear communication
Questions are easier when you know who to ask. Kindred keeps communication clear while you are deciding, and while you are living in the home.
Someone you can reach
Each Kindred home will have a person responsible for helping coordinate questions, communication, and the condition of the property.
A home that is cared for
Maintenance and upkeep are part of managing the home. Residents should be able to focus on living there, not on managing the property.
Getting started
Getting started
You should be able to see every step before you take the first one. Here they are.
Learn about Kindred
Explore our communities and learn whether shared living feels like the right environment for you.
Start a conversation
Tell us a little about yourself and what you are looking for. This first step helps us understand how we may be able to help.
Wait for an active opportunity
Applications are not open today. When a real housing opportunity is ready, Kindred will explain the home and the application step.
Apply separately
An inquiry never becomes an application by itself. If you choose to apply for an active opportunity, that is a separate recorded process.
Shared living works best when residents understand and respect community expectations. Detailed expectations will be reviewed before move-in so the household standards are explained in advance.
Your information
We ask for less than you might expect
When applications open, applying should not mean handing over your whole history. Kindred will ask for what is needed to evaluate the housing opportunity, and no more.
How we handle what you share is set out in our privacy notice.
What Kindred is, and what it is not
Kindred Living Group runs shared homes. Keeping a home is more than having a room in it, so helping residents hold onto their housing is part of the program — working out who to call, getting to the right resource, the paperwork side of staying housed. It is general, practical help with living somewhere, offered by the people running the house.
What Kindred is not is a care provider. We are not a healthcare, clinical or treatment organization. We do not deliver medical care, administer medication, provide therapy or counselling, or supervise a treatment plan, and we are not a substitute for any of those. We also do not speak or act on a resident’s behalf with anyone else.
If what you need is clinical care, we are the wrong organization, and we would rather say so now than after an application. Residents keep their own providers, and their care stays between them and the people delivering it.
