Move Coordination & Downsizing Assistance for Boomers and Beyond

Research tells us that moving is one of the most stressful life events, behind divorce and death of a spouse.  A multitude of decisions must be made ... selecting a place to move, designing room layouts and deciding what to take, finding a mover, packing, moving, unpacking and getting rid of the leftovers can seem overwhelming!  And making a downsizing move is like none other.  With family members often spread far and wide, Boomers and Seniors often do not have the local assistance needed to prepare for a downsizing move. 

 

Simplified Spaces provides individuals and families with the emotional and physical assistance needed when making a later life change in living arrangements.  Each family situation and needs are different.  That’s why we offer a Menu of Services to help with as little or as much as you need (with a three-hour minimum).

ADDITIONal Services

 

Vital & Estate Document Organizing

Don’t wait until a crisis to locate and organize your Vital and Estate documents.

 

Senior-friendly home assessment

If you are not planning to move, we provide services to make your current home more “user-friendly” with home safety assessments reports.

 

Service Provider Recommendations

For our clients, we’ll make arrangements with or referrals for the services of other quality professionals as your needs dictate.  These services may include an appraiser and estate sale coordinators, real estate professional, remodeling contractor to make home modifications to increase ease of independent living, and decorating services.

 

Estate Dispersal

Simplified Spaces also provides services for the dispersal of household belongings after the death of a loved one. 

 

A death in the family introduces a whole new set of responsibilities, from removing personal belongings to the complete shutdown of an established home site.  Daily responsibilities and distances can make these tasks seem even more overwhelming.

 

Simplifies Spaces can help make these tasks feasible, timely and cost-effective.  Working under the direction of family members, attorneys or trust officers, we organize and distribute the estate according to your and your family member’s wishes.  From the most simple sorting to arrangements for cleaning and home repair work, taking the pressure off already trying times is as easy as a phone call.

 

Simplified Spaces also offers individuals and families pre-planning consulting, providing direction for future dispersal of personal and household belongings.

 

PRESENTATIONS

We enjoy speaking to organizations such as senior communities, church groups, residential and retirement housing communities, trust officers and estate attorneys.

 

Popular topics include organizing and decluttering, preparing for the later life move and preparing your home for sale.  We also present the award-winning workshop “Who Gets Grandma’s Yellow Pie Plate” designed to help families begin the process of transferring non-titled property such as furniture, jewelry and photos/memorabilia.

 

Fee for Service

Fees are based on hours expended, so the total cost will vary depending on the size of the move and the services you select.  We will be happy to honor your budget and provide a cap on services provided to stay within your budget.

 

COMPLIMENTARY INITIAL Consultation
