Senior Transitions

Whether you have an upcoming move or are looking to downsize slowly, I can help. Whether you are clearing out an attic, basement, part of your home, or the entire residence, I can help you determine what to keep, what to sell, and how to handle the rest. The decisions regarding your memories and treasures are always yours, but I will be there to listen, understand, execute your plans, and arrange services in a caring way. I can integrate aging in place strategies, or if you are ready to make the move, I can coordinate the many "moving pieces" to keep the process stress-free!
As a Senior Move Manager, I help facilitate a smooth transition.

Empathetic Downsizing Experience

Perhaps distance, busy lifestyles, jobs, and young kids leave your adult children little time to help during this transition. Perhaps the sheer size of the move is overwhelming, or you are physically unable to tackle the problem alone. At times, the best-intentioned help from family causes conflict, and having a third-party involved helps keep emotions from running so high, making the process less challenging for everyone involved. Change is never easy, but I can help take the load off, to simplify your life with compassion and kindness. Leave the details to me!
