Helping Parents Downsize

When the time comes to help your elderly parents move to a smaller home, it's good to know there are some resources available to assist you in what can become quite a daunting task.

A network of organizing professionals has been formed and does in fact, provide a valuable service. The organization known as the National Association of Senior Move Managers help older adults with sorting, disposal of unwanted items, packing/unpacking and setting up their new home. Considering our busy lifestyles, this service can prove to be very useful in a time that can create a considerable amount of stress. I highly recommend them.

If you are involved with helping your mom and dad downsize yourself, it's often easier if many of their possessions are recycled to charities. Seniors are typically more willing to part with things if they know the items are bound for a good home.
