When it’s time to move your parent’s into a senior living facility, it’s an emotional and difficult process. It’s not an easy one for adult children to navigate on their own with mom and dad as they try to negotiate and pack up a lifetime of memories to move into a much smaller space. What if relocating mom and dad could be done without all the stress and headaches?
You live far away from your parents
The process of moving one or both parents to a senior living community is stressful enough if you live close by, but even harder if you’re trying to manage doing everything in a few days. That’s why Refresh sits down with the family to create a plan and take an assessment of all the belongings, as well as a walk-through of both the current and new homes. This takes a lot of the stress off the family, having a senior move specialist in charge.
Design with Aging in Mind
If your parents are now using a walker, cane, or a wheel chair, we can assist in making their new living space more manageable. Sometimes, re-arranging furniture or adding a closet organizer, where everything is sorted and within your reach, will make a world of difference.
Downsize and Organize with Seniors Wishes in Mind
Often adult children can return home for a week at best to sort through their parents’ belongings and move them to a senior living community. In reality, a senior parent’s home may have nearly 50 years of memories. It’s going take patience and time to sort and organize though of lifetime of possessions.
