The formal–informal dichotomy of home care, a theoretical framework in quantitative and qualitative research, might not be descriptive of older persons' views about their home-care providers. This qualitative study explores the perspectives of older women about the characteristics of their home-care providers. Three interviews were conducted with each of 25 women (aged 80–94) during the first 4 months of participation in a 3-year phenomenological study. The women described their helpers. Helper types are differentiated on the basis of the nature of the help, and we variations in compensation arrangements are explored. The results delineate a new typology of home-care helpers: regular helpers, on-call helpers, can-will doers and mainstays. When home-care helpers are categorised by type of assistance provided, the potential value of their efforts is more evident. The association of formal care with paid help and informal care with nonpaid help limits the effectiveness of the dichotomy as a basis for home-care-payment policies. The new home-care-helper typology cuts across the dimensions of the dichotomy, providing an alternative theoretical framework for further research.

The author, co-winner of last year's Isabel Schwartz Travel Fellowship, is pioneering homesharing for disabled people in the UK. The concept of homesharing which is well-established in America and Canada involves the house-holder providing accommodation in exchange for help and someone in the house at night. Describes the author's visits to the American National Shared Housing Resource Centre (NSHRC) and the Share and Care project in Canada where she studied their techniques and looks at the homesharing that has been achieved in the UK so far.
