Mariette's On The Move Mariette Frey / Rogue Media Network

Every May, the Administration for Community Living leads the nation's observance of Older Americans Month (OAM), a time to recognize older Americans' contributions, highlight aging trends, and reaffirm commitments to serving the older adults in our communities. We round out National Moving Month (May) with honoring the movers that have come before us and we've brought on an expert for that conversation.
In today's episode, Cindy Greer, founder of Transition With Care LLC, discusses senior move management and the challenges older adults experience when downsizing and transitioning to community living. She emphasizes the importance of using the term 'community' instead of 'home' or 'facility' when referring to senior living options. Cindy explains that senior move management involves decluttering, downsizing, move management, packing, unpacking, as well as coordinating the cleaning out of the previous home. She also highlights the emotional attachment to belongings and the need for open conversations about downsizing and future plans. 
The term 'solo aging' is introduced to describe the challenges faced by individuals without children or close family members to rely on for support. Transition With Care provides expert guidance and support for seniors and their families before, during and after the moving process. They provide a free consultation and offer a broad range of services, including help with downsizing, custom floorplans, move management, packing and unpacking help. Transition With Care can be as much or as little help as their clients need. The emotional aspect of downsizing and moving is also addressed, with a focus on helping clients look forward to the next step. Transition with Care works with both older adult clients and their adult children, often getting involved when a health event or death occurs. They also collaborate with, senior communities, real estate agents, attorneys, and care managers to ensure a smooth transition. The cost of their services is out of pocket, but the value they provide is worth the investment.
