EASING THE TRANSITION Helping Your Parents Right Size and Declutter 1. Start small: Begin by tackling one room or area at a time, rather than trying to declutter the entire house all at once. This will make the process feel less overwhelming.

2. Set clear goals: Work with your parent to set specific goals for the process.

3. Involve them in the process: Encourage your parent to be an active participant. Ask for their input and opinions on what items they would like to keep, and which they would like to get rid of.

4. Make it fun: Introduce a theme or game to make the process more enjoyable. For example, you can have a “memory box” for sentimental items, or a “donation box” for items that can be given away to charity.

5. Hire professional help: A senior move manager can provide valuable guidance and support throughout the downsizing and decluttering process. They can handle all aspects of the move, including sorting, packing, and coordinating with movers. They also provide emotional support and help alleviate feelings of anxiety and loss.

PAST CLIENT TESTIMONIALS The SL HomeGroup was incredible to work with, so personable and responsive. We felt at ease every step of the way, all while making it the easiest process we have ever been through in selling a home!

I’m not one for many words, but I had to jump on just to say that that SL Home Group is the BEST. The responsiveness, attention to detail and quality of work produced is head and shoulders above others I’ve worked with. They make the process seamless and go above and beyond. The gold standard for sure!

The SL Home Group is full of AMAZING people! The selling of my house was smooth and FAST! (Less than 24 hrs ??) They were thorough and prompt with everything! They made it easy for us as first time home sellers! They were always a phone call/text away with the answers to any questions or concerns we may have had!
