Transition Connections, Inc. provides the highest level of service to older adults and their families during the home downsizing and relocation process. We minimize the chaos and stress associated with moving by creating and executing a seamless action plan, customized to the client's wishes. As a result, the older adult's move to a new living environment is celebrated and enjoyed - as it should be.
Our Process
Older adults making a transition have often not moved in 30, 40 or 50 years and need to downsize considerably. The organizational and physical tasks associated with planning and implementing such a complex move can be daunting for the entire family. If not handled properly, the transition process can be overwhelming and, quite possibly, detrimental to the older adult’s well-being.
