Senior placement for Central Texas families — no out-of-pocket cost to you.
MOVING & DOWNSIZING RESOURCE
Senior Moving Services and Professional Downsizing
A senior move or major downsizing project involves more than transporting boxes. A qualified professional can help your family plan the transition, sort belongings respectfully, coordinate movers and other vendors, and set up the new home so it feels familiar and safe.
SENIOR MOVING SERVICES MAY INCLUDE
• Creating a move timeline and floor plan for the new residence.
• Coordinating packing, labeling, movers, storage, cleaning, and deliveries.
• Arranging furniture and unpacking essential items first.
• Helping organize documents, medications, mobility equipment, and treasured belongings.
• Supporting a move to independent living, assisted living, memory care, or a smaller home.
PROFESSIONAL DOWNSIZING MAY INCLUDE
• Sorting items into keep, gift, sell, donate, recycle, and discard categories.
• Photographing keepsakes or creating a written inventory.
• Coordinating donations, estate-sale professionals, shredding, or disposal.
• Reducing clutter for a move or to make the current home easier to navigate.
A GENTLE PLACE TO START
Begin with one low-emotion area, such as a linen closet. Set aside important papers, jewelry, photographs, medications, military records, and legal documents before other sorting begins. Give the older adult choices and time whenever possible; avoid discarding meaningful items without permission.
QUESTIONS TO ASK A PROFESSIONAL
• Are you insured, and what services are included in your estimate?
• Do you perform the work directly or coordinate other vendors?
• How do you protect valuables, personal records, and medications?
• How are donations, sales, disposal fees, travel, and supplies documented?
• Can you provide a written schedule, references, and cancellation terms?
