How We Helped Seniors Downsize and Pack for a Move Closer to Family

Moving can be a daunting task, especially when you’ve spent a lifetime accumulating memories and possessions. That was the case for Janet and her brother, who had lived in their country home for over 20 years. When they had the opportunity to move north to live with family, it was a big decision—and a big move.

Being in their 80s, Janet and her brother were spry and delightful, but understandably, making big decisions and sorting through decades of items was tiring. Our senior downsizing expert made the drive to Van Alstyne eight mornings over three weeks to help them tackle the project. Each day, she helped sort through items, took an SUV full of donations, and even offered to take their books to Half Price Books to sell on their behalf.

It was essential to downsize and pack efficiently, reducing the number of items they took to save moving truck space and make their new home more manageable. After weeks of thoughtful decisions, the time to pack finally arrived. We worked efficiently, putting in long days to minimize the number of packers in their already full house.

When Janet’s family arrived to drive the U-Hauls, they were thrilled to find everything minimized and completely packed. The hard work paid off—they were able to load up and hit the road the very next day!
