Pre-Move Planning

• We help with the assessment of the new residence and the creation of a floor plan, which helps guide our clients through the downsizing process.
• We create a "Move Information Notebook", which holds all the important details of the move. Clients always know what is scheduled in advance. We prepare a downsizing/packing and moving day calendar, arranging dates for the move plan to accommodate our client's needs and schedule.
• We assist with the time consuming task of making address changes, transferring utilities and forwarding subscriptions.
• We serve as liaison with family and the new senior community staff.

Home Preparation/Getting Ready for a Household Transition

• We offer emotional and practical support with downsizing decisions.
• We prepare an inventory list of the furniture in each room, tagging each piece: KEEP, GIVE TO FAMILY, SELL, and DONATE TO CHARITY.
• We assist you in taking a look at everything, one room at a time and begin the downsizing process. Making a fresh start means casting off belongings that you no longer need. This process is tremendously freeing!
• We organize kitchen cabinets, closets, attics, garages and all the nooks and crannies where unneeded things have accumulated over the years.
• We provide preferred referrals through our "RSS Certified Quality" program, giving our clients access to an expanded range of services including: appraisals, estate sales, household repair or modification and housecleaning.

Disbursement of Unwanted Household Items

• We assist with the arrangements for the sale of unwanted items.
• We inventory and/or pack all items for disbursement to family and make all of the arrangements for the shipment of items to family members across the country.
• We make arrangements for temporary storage for future disbursement.
• We arrange for all charity pick-ups and/or deliver items to charities of our client's choice.

Coordinating and Facilitating the Move

• We pack only the things that are going to the new home and organize each box, giving thought to how it will be unpacked or stored.
• We arrange moving dates and times with a "RSS Certified Quality" moving company. We are there on moving day all day, supervising and directing the movers as they place the things according to the new home floor plan.
• We unpack and set up the new home according to out clients' wishes; arranging a living environment that matches the current home or providing a new layout that gives a fresh new start; hang pictures make the beds, arrange the kitchen, organize closets and more. We break down boxes and remove all packing materials.
