Transitioning Your Parents
Time constraints and multiple responsibilities make helping your parents “smart size” into a new home difficult for many families. It’s overwhelming for many, causing fear and anxiety but you needn’t face this challenge alone.
With compassion, patience and respect, working side by side with you or your parents we will assist in de-cluttering, sorting and paring down possessions and help to create and preserve a legacy of treasures and memories that will never be forgotten.
We’ll provide the knowledge and decision-making support to organize the home for sale. With patience and guided assistance we help find new homes for unwanted and unused items through sales, donations and recycling, and ensure that vital documents and papers are in order and available for quick and easy access.
