The Case for Calling a Senior Downsizing Service

It’s a step that numerous retirees take: the move from a large house to a smaller home.

There are several reasons why older adults opt to take the plunge. For some, the financial burden of paying for a large house outweighs the benefits of living there, especially since the kids have long since flown the coop. For others, the day-to-day labour a large house requires – the cleaning, maintenance and landscaping – is physically burdensome. Then there are some seniors who simply prefer living among people their own age.

Whatever the reason, downsizing is no small task. The logistics involved with paring down the contents of a large house to fit within a smaller one requires forethought, organization, physical exertion and mental stamina.

Luckily, there’s help available. In this post, let’s run through the benefits of senior downsizing services – what they are and how they can help facilitate your big move.

What Are Senior Downsizing Services?

A senior downsizing company aids in several pivotal processes. They patiently, compassionately and professionally   help you sort and declutter your belongings, consulting with you on what to keep, donate, sell or discard. They organize and pack your belongings in advance of the big move day. They coordinate movers, packing supplies, elevator reservations and the like. And, once you’ve moved into your new place, they help unpack your belongings and organize things in a way that makes sense for you.
​ 
If that description doesn’t speak for itself, here are a few reasons why senior downsizing services are an indispensable resource.

​Decluttering is a Sizeable Task

In theory, decluttering should be straightforward. But when you lay out the contents of your home, in which you’ve lived for years (often decades), you get a sense of the monumental scope of the project.
​
Decluttering a lifetime of belongings takes time, mental energy and physical stamina. Senior downsizing services take the burden off your shoulders by guiding you through the process.

​They Can Help with the Move Itself

As mentioned above, one supporting service available through a senior downsizing company is “move management.”
​
Boxing items, preparing furniture, coordinating moving trucks, acquiring packing supplies, overseeing movers, reserving elevators… All of these seemingly small tasks add up. Undertaking the moving process alone can be exhausting. It’s better to have a professional in your corner.

Get Set Up the Right Way

The first few hours setting up a new place are profoundly consequential. Often, they dictate the way you live in your home. After all, it’s much easier to set things up from scratch the right way than to change things after the fact.
​
A great senior downsizing company knows how to organize a home. They can set up your furniture and belongings according to logical organization systems, so you get started on the right foot.

You Have Other Things to Worry About

Lastly, an emotional consideration: You have bigger things to worry about when downsizing. It’s a massive change, a significant transitional period that is likely to stir up complex emotions. You don’t want to spend your precious energy worrying about granular questions like “how will this sideboard fit in the new living room?”
​
Senior downsizing services take the weight of moving from your shoulders so you can focus on the next chapter.
