WE ARE MOM'S HOUSE CERTIFIED
SENIOR TRANSITION SPECIALISTS
Transitions can be overwhelming. Transitions can be a step into a new life of experience, learning and preparation.
Senior transitions are especially complex. Human beings who have a long experience of life, raising families, building careers, contributing to communities may suddenly find themselves unable to continue on as they have for decades and face immediate dilemmas about how to manage growing challenges. At this stage most of us are largely unaware of what we are about to experience.
- What will I do if I am unable to get around like I used to?
- I can’t clean and maintain my home by myself any more. Who is there to help?
- How do I protect my ability to choose my care options and my estate. What are they?
- If I need long term care, how much does it cost and how will I pay for it?
- My home hasn’t been updated or even got a coat of fresh paint in a long time. I could really use help with the stairs or something to grab onto in the shower. Should I improve my home or consider moving to a place where I can get some help?
- What do I/we do with the house? What is it worth? What are we going to do with all of the “stuff”?
- What if we need money to clean up the real estate and get it ready for sale? Where will we get that?
- Who will do all the work? How much will it cost?
- Can I just sell my home as is and not worry about all the things it needs?
In facing questions like this you need a reliable professional team to help you plan for an efficient, stress free move to a new life, communicate clearly with all parties involved, give perspective on what might be required from third parties and direct you to a team of experienced, vetted professionals competent in their respective fields of practice.
If you then decide you need that team to execute the plan, experience counts.
