Before co-founders Lisa & Rita started this company, they had already spent years personally helping families and the aging parents with needs around their homes. They soon found themselves helping their own loved ones navigate the physically and emotionally draining process of downsizing and moving. In January of 2014, we began this company with a focus on helping older adults within our own communities to transition into new living situations. And while we don’t exclusively work with seniors, we have become experts in resources that exist within the vast network we have established with other senior workers. Our focus is on providing a personal and compassionate experience in what can often be a difficult and emotional life transition.
I’m a retired Bank Manager who has served clients of all ages since 1982. I admit, I’ve always favored my senior clients, and even spent free time providing home and companion care on and off. I’ve always enjoyed volunteering and most of that work included services that included older populations. I take particular pleasure in hearing stories about people’s life experiences, work ethics, and family values because that’s what’s most important to me. My first move management experience was for my own father, when a small medical procedure went poorly for him resulting in his inability to remain in his own home. It’s easy for me to empathize with today’s families when I recall how overwhelming that process was for mine, especially without benefit of all the resources I’m aware of today. I am known by staff and clients to lend a compassionate ear while serving their needs.
“I want to thank you for the incredible service you provided my mom and I recently. You folks worked fast, you were incredibly sensitive to the issues of working with an Alzheimer’s patient and the family, and you left her new apartment in fantastic shape. You are providing a much needed and important service to families with elderly parents. Thanks Again!! “
