Charlotte - I"m looking into "Shared Housing" where I rent a room and bath to somone who needs housing - they help me for part of the rent. the county of Riverside, CA monitors this every 3 mos. I just got papers in, so haven't interviewed anyone yet. I have fears and trepidations re this, but Spike and I are a great match, so it is possible, altho I haven't had a roommate since post-grad college days. Don't want to do it, but other in home help will eventually bankrupt me. I'll post more as I find out more info.
