If you are thinking about talking to your senior family member about downsizing, this article can help!

Client Testimonial

\”It was like a miracle to move to my new apartment with Carla helping me. After 38 years in a 9 room house, I was really concerned (more like terrified) about downsizing to 3 rooms. Carla gave me advice, support, encouragement, and did lots of practical hard work while insisting that I was doing it and cheering me on. Carla knew lots of ways to help me decide about keeping, tossing or putting things on probation and was always affirming my choices. Now, a few months later, I have happy memories of the move, (imagine that?). I realize the value of Carla’s work and I am more grateful than ever.\”
