Q. What does “aging in place” mean?

A. Aging in place means living safely and comfortably in your own home as you grow older, rather than moving to assisted living. Our goal is to make that possible by reducing risks, increasing accessibility, and ensuring your home supports your lifestyle and needs.

 

Q. Do you handle everything for the move?

A. Yes! We can manage the entire process — from planning and sorting to move day coordination and complete setup in the new home. We can even make the bed, hang artwork, and organize closets so your loved one feels at home right away.

 

Q. How much do your services cost?

A. Every project is unique, and we’ll provide an estimate based on your specific needs after our initial consultation.

 

Q. Are you insured and experienced?

A. Yes. We are fully insured, and our team brings over 45 years of combined experience in organizing, construction, and home services. We treat every client and home with the same respect and attention we’d give our own family.

 

Q. Do you work with families who live out of state?

A. Absolutely. We often coordinate moves and home projects for adult children who live far away. We keep families informed every step of the way through phone calls, photos, and updates.

 

Q. Can you help with donation pickups or disposal of unwanted items?

A. Yes. We handle donations, recycling, and disposal to make downsizing simple and stress-free. We’ll coordinate drop-offs or pickups and ensure items are handled responsibly.

 

Q. How far in advance should I schedule services?

A. We recommend reaching out at least 2–4 weeks in advance, but we can often accommodate urgent situations. The earlier we connect, the more smoothly we can plan and prepare.

 

Q. Do you work with other professionals?

A. Yes, we often collaborate with realtors, senior living communities, estate planners, contractors, and movers. We can coordinate everything to save you time and stress.

 

Q. How do I get started?

A. Just contact us to schedule your free consultation! We’ll discuss your goals, timeline, and budget, then create a personalized plan to make your transition simple and stress-free.
