Services

Downsizing & Decluttering

Letting go of “stuff” is hard. We make it easier with practical help and emotional support, honoring your memories while making space for your next chapter.
Space Planning

Whether moving to a new space or updating an existing one - we can help measure, plan and layout your home for optimal comfort and safety.
Packing & Unpacking

We do more than pack boxes—we help you land gently in your new space with thoughtful unpacking and set-up that makes you feel at home right away.
Liveability Assessments

As trained Aging in Place specialists, we conduct home safety assessments identifying changes to make a home more safe and comfortable as homeowners age. These could include accessibility modifications ( e.g. drop-down shelving, grab bars, heightened toilets), lighting/audio updates and technology assistance.
Estate Document "Go Box"

No one likes to think about an emergency - so let us. We can help identify and gather important information all in one place (or two actually: hard copy and digital). Medical, financial, legal, passwords - all together when you need it most. Additionally we can work with your townships File of Life pack.
Senior Concierge

Every homeowner is unique - and so are their needs. Errands? Tech help? Home check-ins while traveling? Let us know where you are looking for assistance and we can help or connect you with someone who can.
