Senior Downsizing & Move Management

Support from Start to Settled.

We provide thoughtful, full-service senior downsizing support — from sorting and decluttering to packing, donations, disposal, move coordination, and settling into your new home.

Every detail is handled with clarity, care, and respect, making the transition feel calmer and more manageable from beginning to end.

Who This Is For

Our Senior Downsizing services are designed for:

  • Seniors preparing to move into a smaller home or senior living community

  • Older adults who need hands-on support sorting through a longtime home

  • Adult children helping a parent downsize or relocate

  • Families coordinating a senior move from a distance

  • Fiduciaries and other professionals managing a client’s transition

If the process feels emotional, overwhelming, or simply like too much to manage alone, this is where we step in.

Investment

Most full-service downsizing and transition projects range from $4,800–$12,000+, depending on the size of the home, timeline, and level of support needed.

À la carte services, such as packing, unpacking, or sorting-only support, are also available.

Moving companies, supplies, and third-party vendor costs are separate.
