Because we love working with seniors, and are passionate about helping others simplify their lives, it only seems natural to put the two together for a focused offering from our company: Senior Transition Organizing. The Whole Package Organizing gives special care from start to finish in what can be an overwhelming process–downsizing from a larger home to a smaller one, or to an assisted living facility. As we coordinate with both the family and the individual moving, we’ll help make the transition less stressful for everyone. Here’s what you can expect from us:
- Go through all items in the home with a professional’s gentle guidance to decide what to keep and what to give/donate/sell
- Drop off your donations at the donation center of your choice so that you don’t have to
- Help post large items online if you need to sell them
- Outline tasks that family and friends can do to save time and money
- Carefully pack your precious belongings
- Map out what furniture will fit in your new space
- Catalog any items going to storage
- Coordinate moving day
- Unpack and neatly organize new home from the get-go
- Check in every now and again with maintenance to keep your home organized…and to see how you’re doing in the new space
One of our team members, Chase McCleary, recently went through this process with her mother. She gained valuable insight into the massive scope of the downsizing process, the needs of seniors, and the perspective of family members who care for them. As she sorted through belongings left behind in the family home when her mother passed away, Chase realized that downsizing homes, organizing moves and helping seniors was the career path she wanted to pursue. She is helping to spearhead our approach in this area.
Once you’ve completed the downsizing process, you’ll be able to enjoy a simpler pace and space with much less to take care of. For a fresh and humorous approach on the subject, we highly recommend Margareta Magnusson’s short book, “The Gentle Art of Swedish Death Cleaning.” As an expert on minimizing belongings in the twilight years, she writes about her firsthand experience in a very approachable style with wit, wisdom, and gusto.
We understand that sometimes the senior homeowner or family members do not have the time or energy required to downsize a home and all that is in it. With our help, a huge burden will be lifted from your shoulders. We have a network of haulers, deep cleaners and movers, and a large and efficient team of professional organizers that will take the headache out of the Senior Transition for all involved. We are very competitively priced for senior moves in this area.
We hope you’ll keep us in mind when it is time to downsize or transition to a smaller home. We truly care for our clients and want to be the ones you call when it is time to face the organizing project of a lifetime. Let us handle the details and get you settled so you can get on with your rich and lovely life!
