March 2, 2021
, , , moving

If there’s one thing that seniors struggle with, it’s change. Take for example, convincing them to move to assisted living. But making them agree to this proposition and finding the best community that can offer them a supportive environment are only two of the many challenges you need to face. So, here’s a senior moving guide to help you out.

Senior Moving Tips To Help An Elderly Transition To Assisted Living

Set Realistic Expectations

You should set a realistic expectation first regarding how much you can do in a single day. Unless the transition is happening in the middle of a crisis, you have to give yourself and the elderly permission to work at a pace that you’re both comfortable with. Don’t attempt to downsize their whole house in one single weekend if you can avoid it. You should work at a leisurely pace because it’ll cut down the anxiety while providing you the opportunity to think about the time that has been spent in that house.

Even if your parents are willing and ready to downsize, senior relocating and downsizing can be an overwhelming experience. Here are some downsizing tips from professional organizers.

If you are busy with your career and your family life, helping your parents with senior relocating or senior downsizing can be very stressful. It can be tempting to find ways to get it done right away by taking the tough love approach. However, since you’re the adult child who’s been tasked to help out, you have to think about the feelings of your parents before you deal with the logistics.

Downsizing and Moving Tips

You need to convince your parents that they need to clean out and downsize their possessions. However, you need to do this carefully. You should position cleaning as a collaborative effort rather than as an order so that they won’t feel attacked. Use gentle words and make senior downsizing and decluttering sound like it’s a fun process.

Moving can be a very stressful event and that’s why you need to hire the help of the experts. Yes, you may still be able to do many things on your own but there are instances when you’ll need the help of a professional organizer.

How can a professional organizer help?

Cut down your moving weight

Most moving companies charge by weight. Although getting rid of your extra skinny jeans and underwear might not reduce the moving weight that much but getting rid of 20 bags of books can. Before you begin packaging (at least two months before the move), you can enlist the help of a home organizing expert who can assist you in thinning out your shoes and books. These are some of the items that you may find it hard to be objective about.

Tips For Decluttering Your Home Room by Room

January 22, 2021
, , declutter

Whether you want to simplify your life or downsize your home, decluttering a whole house is a huge undertaking. The best way to get it done is to declutter in stages. You should focus on one space, one room, or one zone inside a room, finish the job first before you transfer to the next room. This will help you build confidence as you notice visible success at every step.

Fancy tools are not required during home organizing. But you do need to have five bins to serve five different reasons.

  1. Put away bin – for items that are not in their proper storage place.
  2. Recycle – for items that you have to recycle like glass, plastic, and paper.
  3. Repair – for items that you need to tinker like a pair of shoes.
  4. Trash – for items that you need to throw away.
  5. Donate – for items that you need to give to another person or a charitable organization.

If you don’t have bins, you can use cardboard boxes or baskets for this task. You have to take these bins with you into every room while you declutter or you can leave them in a space in your home that you can easily access.
