Downsizing, Packing, Selling & Moving
Services for Louisville, KY Seniors
Keep the Memories. Reduce the Stuff. Moving On!
Downsizing can be stressful, especially if leaving the home where you raised your children, or maybe where you lived all your life. We have come to see things and possessions one-and-the-same as memories, because that's what they immediately bring to mind. Often, the processes of transitioning and downsizing begin with these discussions and stories. Good! Whatever the reason and nature of downsizing for you, it's important to talk about what is important ... to you. It may take some time to realize ... the memories and the "things" are not one and the same. You can keep the memories, move or sell the stuff, and move on to your next space, activities, adventures and freedom!
​
Of course, every client has unique needs, and our experience in caregiving for seniors teaches us to always be helping. For example, does a senior with memory issues need some essential "things" to keep certain memories? Perhaps having all of their possessions in front of them is overwhelming? What is important, and what can be harmful or confusing? We need to review situations carefully, often with caregivers and family, to ensure that every transition is a healthy move to a better situation and environment, whether it's a condo on a beach or an assisted living community just down the road.
​
That's Why ... We Start with a Free Talk. It's Important to Know Where You Have Been, Where You Are Going, Where You Want to Be, and Why!
