Senior Downsizing Made Smart & Simple with Clutter Free OC

Choosing to move to a retirement community should be a happy stress free experience, but often it brings up anxiety for seniors and their families in keeping treasured belongings and peace of mind when creating a new perfect space for senior living at its best.

Having a third party, like me, a professional organizer handle the heavy lifting and guide you through the emotions and sorting through a lifetime can be a real gift to everyone involved.  It is one of the most rewarding experiences in what I do and truly love my work and relationships with my senior clients and families.

Here are some tips for downsizing, simplifying and organizing in preparation for retirement living:

• Enlist the help of family, friends or professional services.
• Start thinking about what to sell, consign, discard, donate or give to family members.
• Decide what things you must keep and want to keep and how they will fit in your new space.
• Stop shopping or collecting new items unless it is for your new space.
• Keep it simple and start small, with one room, closet or cupboard at a time.
• Arrange your space with safety in mind and list things you must have help for.
• Start to ask for referrals for movers, organizers and communities that will work for you.

This is just a few things I have learned in helping seniors downsize and somehow I have a talent for making it smooth and even fun and stress free as it should be.
