Considerations with Housing Transitions

Moving as a senior can present unique challenges and considerations due to factors such as health, mobility, and emotional attachment to one's home. We're here to help you through all the key decisions you need to make concerning your transition. Below are some important things to keep in mind:
■ Health & Mobility
Consider your physical capabilities and health needs. Ensure that the new living space accommodates your needs, whether it's moving in with family or a one-story home.
■ Location
Choose a location that is convenient and suits your lifestyle and needs, such as, proximity to medical facilities, shopping, public transportation, and social amenities. We know this market and can help you with options that will suit your needs and desires!
■ Downsizing
Moving often involves downsizing, which can be emotionally challenging if you have accumulated a lifetime of possessions. We have the plans and strategies to ease this burden!
■ Emotional Support
A transition can be taxing, especially if you have strong emotional ties to your current home. We're here to offer emotional support and reassurance throughout the process, acknowledging your feelings and helping to focus on the positive aspects of the move, such as new opportunities and experiences!
■ Safety & Security
Prioritize safety and security in your new living environment. Ensure that your space is equipped with safety features such as handrails, grab bars, smoke detectors and adequate lighting. We have resources and contractors to assist - including those that can implement Smart Home Technology!
■ Transition Period
Allow yourself adequate time for a transition period after any change to adjust to your new surroundings. Be patient as you acclimate to a new home and community. We are empathetic and compassionate during this time and are always available to provide the support you need!
